description: I finished Simon Singh’s The Code Book, an accessible history of cryptography. It was so compelling that it’s the only non-fiction book I’ve managed to read from cover to cover in the past two years.

[The Code Book by Simon Singh](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0385495323/?tag=sanand-20) is the last book I read. It's also the only non-fiction I managed to finish in two years.
