# February logs

## Books

* [Mindset](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40745.Mindset)
  * This is a book I've been meaning to read for quite some time and actually knew its central message quite well, already.
  * I skim read the book while taking [notes](/books/psychology/mindset.md).
  * As with most psychology and self help books, this one is also filled with stories which can be safely skipped if you actually *get* the underlying points.
* [Find Me](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/44581535-find-me)
  * I quite like the Call Me By Your Name by the same author and that's why I picked up this book.
  * This was a pretty quick read, but I found the plots and characters in the most part unbelievalble. 
  * This lack of genuineness almost ruined the book for me, but finished it nonetheless since it was a quick read.
  * References to classics, such as hidden Roman galleries, was one of the few redeeming qualities of the book for me.
* [Lord of the Flies](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7624.Lord_of_the_Flies)
* [How to Take Smart Notes](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34507927-how-to-take-smart-notes)
* [The Unbearable Lightness of Being](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9717.The_Unbearable_Lightness_of_Being)
* [UNIX: A History and a Memoir](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/48518642-unix)
* [The Catcher in the Rye](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5107.The_Catcher_in_the_Rye)
* [Peak Performance](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/31450959-peak-performance)
* [The Passion Paradox](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/37901642-the-passion-paradox)
* [The Oresteia: Agamemnon, The Libation Bearers, The Eumenides](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1519.The_Oresteia)
* [Sula](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11346.Sula)
* [Fluchtpunkt Lisp](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/45838440-fluchtpunkt-lisp)
  * This is a very short Zine from one my favourite Lisp/Clojure Hackers, [Michael Fogus](http://blog.fogus.me/).

## Papers

* [ ] [Scalable Component Abstractions](https://lampwww.epfl.ch/~odersky/papers/ScalableComponent.pdf) - [notes](https://github.com/dewaka/wiki/tree/ed434d54ec60d0adf3975c98a6453fc9df33c72d/log/2020/scalable-component-abstractions.md)

## Meetups

* I had to miss both Rust and Scala meetups this month, unfortunately. 
* Quite disappointing month overall when it comes to meetups and hikes.

## Blog entries

* None!

## Entertaintment

* [Parasite (2019)](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6751668/)
  * Simply one of the best films I've seen this year thus far.
  * This is a tragicomedy about class struggle.
* [1917 (2019)](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8579674/)
  * I almost liked this film more than Dunkirk!
  * This film succeeds in portraying the horrors and sheer insanity of the World War I.
* [La bohème](https://www.roh.org.uk/tickets-and-events/la-boheme-by-richard-jones-dates)
