If you have favorite books that should be on this page, please let me know on @PowerDNS Bert or bert@hubertnet.nl! I’m especially looking for books written from different perspectives.

Rebecca Wragg Sykes argues that weâve spent too much time studying the way Neanderthals interacted with Homo Sapiens and too little studying the way Neanderthals interacted with each other.

As they say, tough times don t last - tough people do. And since 2020 qualifies as tough times, as Bill Gates says in his blog post, there s no better time to read a book than now.
In a no-holds-barred blog post, Gates wrote that there were times when he wanted to dwelve deeper into social issues like Black Lives Matter protests which took the centerstage this year but there were days when he needed a change of pace and read something lighter.
