9.3. Man must understand his trade. Stochastic programming was just the kind of stuff I needed right now, having background in probability and optimization theory and financial mathematics, this book combines them all and goes little further than what you learned in university. And it's mostly very readable if you're already familiar with higher mathematics, but needed more examples.

5.3. One of those kinds of books every film nerd should check out. This covers all the basics of filmmaking in a short and precise way.

I don't care what people say, I read every single one of his translated works and they did inspire me to start fixing my life for good. Martin Luther wasn't a fool, most of his works require the context to be appreciated, but on many ethical and spriritual matters he was so on point it's not even funny. Personally I found his opinion on what he called "the core of all sin" the most striking of his writings, the point being that the core of all evil as he saw it was becoming a kind of hermit who abandons both the world and people for whatever selfish reason, basically turning one's back on the moral virtue of loving thy neighbour. He was obviously talking about all kinds of monks and hermits, but in our world it has a whole new meaning with people being socially and mentally alienated by their overconsumption of internet, porn and social media. That's basically what happened to me. That was the number one problem of my life at the time.

21.2. One of the most useful books I have ever read in my life, seriously. This is all about fashion for men, but this time it's for normal people and not some rich assholes. Most of these clothes are easily available everywhere and when mixed together the right way they look great. I didn't know jack about style or fashion until I found this book, and now I have some solid foundation for my taste. Highly recommended.

18.2. History of Russian and Soviet animation. This is a great spot on book, it's less than 100 pages and covers a more than just the obvious classics.

18.2. A look at then hot Soviet filmmakers from the late 1970's. Today it's very outdated.
