Unix/Linux Books
I really like reading technical books, and being a systems administrator and DevOps consultant really lets me read as much as want and still enjoy getting something interesting and new from every book.

Let me know if you know (or have written) a technical book around Unix/Linux, shell scripting, Python programming, DevOps or cloud architecture – I would love to read it and maybe even publish a review.
