Books: 2014 retrospective and to-read for 2015

Many of my friends have shared their reading lists of all the books they read in 2014 (thank you!) -- this gave me some excellent ideas of books to read for 2015.

So I have decided to share my reading list as well, and the list of books I plan to read in 2015. If you have any ideas for additional books, I'd love them (especially in the topic areas of business, finance, nonfiction).

Favorite books I read in 2014:

  • The Hard Thing About Hard Things: Building a Business When There Are No Easy Answers by Ben Horowitz
  • The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon by Brad Stone
  • The Effective Executive: The Definitive Guide to Getting the Right Things Done by Peter F Drucker
  • Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future by Peter Thiel

Preserved for #lawrence history, this was the "required reading" list of totally-non-work-related inside jokes of the World Online crew.

Simple Django middleware that delays the processing of each request
"""
This module provides very simple Django middleware that sleeps on every request.
This is useful when you want to simulate slow response times (as might be
encountered, say, on a cell network).
To use, add this middleware, and add a value for SLEEP_TIME to your settings.
Possible future feature: Look for an X-Django-Sleep header on each request,
to let the client specify per-request sleep time.
