Once again here’s a list of all the books I read in the past year, in reading order. I’m surprised I made it to 52 again, since there were several periods where I didn’t read much for various reasons.

I also got to work on two books, first as technical reviewer for Ruby and MongoDB Web Development Beginner’s Guide and then as the author of the Metasploit chapter for Informationstechnologie und Sicherheitspolitik.
