3890f96456 Added a new Book ' Karma Yoga' by Swami Vivekanand 
sometimes a thought comes in mind to give up everything, there is so much attachment and suffering in this world. so should one leave everything a become a Sadhu? one should not move away from his responsibilities and one doesn't have to become the sadhu to get the peace. one can find peace in most noisy place in universe and in utmost silence. the book is somewhat different from normal self- help books.  it tells to not be attached to the work  which you are doing. 
it nicely explains the concept of religion and karma, work, why one needs to do the karma.
I feel this is the best book i have ever read.

26656bafa9 Add Thus Spoke Zarathustra 
This is one of my favorite books in general, and definitely my favorite philosophy book. I've read and re-read this book at pivotal moments in my life. Nietzsche is one of the first to spread the philosophy of "God is dead!" that now resembles Satanic beliefs, and is still a widely read book amongst Nihilists of all flavors. This book is not merely a critique on Christianity and organized religion; it is a manifesto of free will that people still read to this day. I highly recommend it as a mind-expanding book.

3abe7db364 Added It by Stephen King 
You can't have a list of horror books with Stephen King. 'It' will always be one of my favorite King books. The book effectively uses not only Pennywise as a horror element, but also real life threats such as Henry Bowers and his gang of school bullies and Bev's abusive father. While the book is plenty chilling, you also fall in love with the tight-knit group of misfits who are able to band together and defeat a monster that has existed since the beginning of time itself. The book is not only about monsters, but the power of friendship, which makes it so much more than your typical horror novel.

9bf3627795 Add Cosmicomics 
This is lesser-known Calvino, but actually my favorite of his works that I've read. It's just so weird! — a collection of stories about the deep history of the universe, featuring decidedly atypical protagonists (particles, formulae, evolving organisms, etc.) and a range of witty magical realism… Reads like vignettes from a strange alternate history of the cosmos…

2b92156cc1 Add Origins of Form 
All about form and structure — how things are made, and how they're constrained, from the structural efficiencies and limitations of natural materials, to differences in building/manufacturing practices we might consider in light of what we want to optimize for… It's not only well-written, but graced with lovely illustrations on almost every page, of things ranging from cell structures to ancient tools to the various ways things can break. It also works up to some interesting conclusions…moving from elements of form and structure, to historical and evolutionary influences, the "dictates of chance" on what things exist, and unifying principles of the physical world.

* Added "Bolo'bolo"

Weird and wonderful little book that proposes a whole societal structure of radical autonomous communities — complete with an invented language to describe the parts of this new community vision, and their machinations. Very eye-opening; in some ways it's a strange and impractical utopian dream; in others it's a sobering and critical plea for reorganizing society along lines of greater sustainability and social cohesion. Very interesting whichever way you look at it!

46feb27687 Added "Le Ton beau de Marot" (#150) 
An incredible book about the art of translation, and a million other very welcome tangents. Hofstadter spins endless threads of ideas around a fascinating central premise: that a specific favorite poem of his, by a fairly obscure 16th century French poet, can spark an infinite variety of translations. There are 80+ of these translations sprinkled throughout the book, from friends and family, students and colleagues, noted translators and computer programs (and many by Hofstadter himself). Among them, a feast of academic lessons and personal reflections interwoven into a testament to the complexity and magic of translation and a whole lot of fascinating problems posed by language, literature, cognition and more. I've owned Hofstadter's infamous Gödel, Escher, Bach for a few years now, and still haven't finished swashbuckling my way through it — but I found this one thematically related yet more accessible, a great entrance point to a capacious and curious mind.

Really wonderful book about nature, the passage of time, and really paying attention to the world around you. The whole book could almost be categorized as prose poetry; it's not a large volume but took me a while to get through just due to the sheer density of lush and sensitive description. It chronicles a year in which both nothing and everything seems to happen; Dillard mostly hangs out around her home and its backyard creek (or at least, the book is constrained mostly to these experiences) but manages to evoke transcendent beauty and spirituality, capturing cycles of predator and prey, weather, and her own reactions to the unfolding of life in its infinite forms.

This contains documentation on `housekeep.py` which was a command developed for converting from legacy README
format to the new format. This is not used anymore.
## Getting started
### Setup
1) Copy ```config-sample.py``` to ```config.py```
```bash
cp config-sample.py config.py
```
2) Get a GoodReads API key [here](https://www.goodreads.com/api/keys)
3) Copy your public key to the ```config.py``` file
### Converting
Run
```bash
python3 housekeep.py --file_type='old'
```
The ``--file_type='old'`` flag is needed if the books are displayed in the old format (in a list). New format is the default (when the records are displayed in tables).
This will convert to the new format and save it to ``README-new.md``.
**Note!** the first conversion can take some time, we wait 1 second between each request to GoodReads to not abuse the API.
After the first generation only missing records will be tried to be retrieved.
Run to see the available arguments
```bash
python3 housekeep.py --help
```

# Utils for Mind-Expanding-Books
`utils/` mainly contains scripts for generating `app/src/data/books.json` file from `README.md`
Simple command line interface to extend and order the Mind-Expanding-Books list.
In most cases, you don't want to run the scripts in this directory or make changes to it.
The only time you want to mess with the scripts is when you want to fetch some extra data from `API` or
want to update the `app/src/data/books.json` file to include a newly added book or category.
## Getting started
## Generating `app/src/data/books.json`
### Setup
1) Copy ```config-sample.py``` to ```config.py```
The website shows name of the book, year, rating, cover, amazon link, etc in book card. Some of the
data like name, year, rating etc is present in the [main README.md](../README.md). Other details
like cover photo, amazon link etc is fetched from various APIs.
The script that fetches all these extra data lives in `utils/update_json_files.py`
The script goes through all the books in [main README.md](../README.md) and starts fetching the extra details
from `Goodreads` and `Google Search` API. And the result is stored in `utils/books.json` and `utils/book_name_to_details.json`
(used for caching only).
Once the script completes the run, the `utils/books.json` file is copied to `app/src/data/books.json` **manually**.
And the website uses the data from `app/src/data/books.json` for generating the pages.
## Install packages for script
```bash
cp config-sample.py config.py
```
2) Get a GoodReads API key [here](https://www.goodreads.com/api/keys)
3) Copy your public key to the ```config.py``` file
### Converting
Run
```bash
python3 housekeep.py --file_type='old'
cd utils
virtualenv .
source bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
The ``--file_type='old'`` flag is needed if the books are displayed in the old format (in a list). New format is the default (when the records are displayed in tables).
## Executing the script
This will convert to the new format and save it to ``README-new.md``.
**Note!** the first conversion can take some time, we wait 1 second between each request to GoodReads to not abuse the API.
After the first generation only missing records will be tried to be retrieved.
Run to see the available arguments
```bash
python3 housekeep.py --help
```
