Ask HN: Book Recommendations while Camping
Hey HN,
I’m looking for books to read while camping. I’m open to anything interesting.
Not sure if it’s relevant that I’m camping but.. that’s the context.
I’m interested in - Biographies of great programmers/founders - Functional Programming / Advanced Programming stuff - Electronics - General skill related books - Other interesting stuff

That last one is sadly out of print now but fairly easy to obtain secondhand - if you like Randall Munroe's `What If?` books then this is likely to appeal to you too.
