Watching my friend's vocabulary improve tremendously, after he read 2 books in 3months, have pushed me to want to up my reading game. Suggestions of books I should start reading would be appreciated.

The best book for your career, in my opinion, is How to Win Friends and Influence People.
It sounds cheesy and even manipulative, but it's really about learning to care about other people and resolve conflicts.
Yess definitely check out How to Win Friends and Influence People! When the book first started gaining popularity, I ignored it because I didn't think of myself as someone who needed to "win friends" or influence others. I read it anyway and to my own surprise, it ended up being one of my most recommended books as it has been very helpful and valuable in improving my people skills.
In addition to that, I enjoyed The Power of Habit (Charles Duhigg). If you're looking for a lighter read, I can also recommend Hit Refresh (Satya Nadella) or anything from the Freakonomics series.
Thanks, Pauline for the recommendation
Thanks Jacob, would definitely try it out
It's a great one am halfway through
The Cuckoo's Egg - Cliff Stoll
Excellent spy/espionage true story during the early Internet days
The War on Normal People - Andrew Yang
Impact of automation on jobs, society and how we need to adjust our economy to cater to the 21st century
Thanks Ed, they sound interesting, would definitely look at them

Amazing, Thanks Ali. Really appreciate
As a rails developer, I read “The Rails 5 Way”, at least 3 times.
As a book lover, reading “Notes from Underground” gave me a lot to think about. Bonus it was a REALLY fun read, darkly funny in a lot of ways.
I have recently read 'Educated' and cannot even start describing how beautiful and motivational this book is: goodreads.com/book/show/35133922-e..., also if you are interested in the art of negotiation (work, personal life and otherwise), I highly recommend 'Never Split The Difference' goodreads.com/book/show/26156469-n.... These are my two most recent favourites!
You should definitely try atomic habits, I loved the book so much that I read the book twice, I ended up expanding my ideas on habit formation. Definitely a must-read. I have compiled what I learned in a blog here
