Pete Prodoehl started reading Python for Kids by Jason Briggs
I checked this out from the library (virtually) and it's great for anyone new to Python! (I'm not exactly new but it's been a while since I've gone over the basics.)

Pete Prodoehl stopped reading Brian May's Red Special by Brian May

Another fun Kevin Wilson book. Not the best of his work but still enjoyable.
Pete Prodoehl finished reading Steal like an artist by Austin Kleon
Steal Like an Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative is a book …
As one of those people cursed to be creative without any real choice in the matter I really enjoyed this book. I can think of a few people I'd like to give this to as a gift. It's probably worth re-reading every few years as well.
Pete Prodoehl finished reading Now Is Not the Time to Panic by Kevin Wilson
Another really funny book by Wilson. This one looks at art and what happens to it (and what happens to you) when you release it to the world. There's a few fun shout outs to punk bands from the 1980s and 1990s and even the mention of a "Wisconsin punk band who only put one out 7" record" which I found hilarious.

The amazing (and sad) story of Lookout Records
5 stars
My first experience with Lookout Records was mail ordering the first bunch of 7" records they released, and through the years bought more (and more!) records from Lookout. I got to know (and become friends with) David Hayes, and a few other people and bands involved with Lookout over the years, but I never really knew Larry. This book helped me get to know Larry as well as I could through the written word, and I finally found out what the hell happened at Lookout Records... at least according to Larry's side of the story.
Pete Prodoehl finished reading Despite Everything by Aaron Cometbus
More classic Cometbus stuff from Aaron. If you grew up when we did, and where we did (in the punk scene) it's probably a very enjoyable read.

If you’re a complete newbie to using OpenSCAD, this would be a great book for you. I could still do most of what I do without ever having read it, but I feel like I picked up enough tips and tricks to make it worthwhile.
