When I first started learning computer science, I craved books that felt like a friendly mentor rather than a textbook. 'C Programming Absolute Beginner’s Guide' by Greg Perry and Dean Miller was my savior—it’s patient and zero-fluff. For data structures, 'Data Structures and Algorithms Made Easy' by Narasimha Karumanchi uses problem-solving to teach, which helped me grasp concepts faster.

Another favorite is 'Clean Code' by Robert C. Martin. While not strictly for beginners, it instills good habits early. If you prefer project-based learning, 'Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python' by Al Sweigart turns coding into a game (literally). These books stood out because they prioritize clarity over complexity, making them perfect for 2023’s self-taught crowd.

I always recommend a mix of foundational and practical books. 'Computer Science Distilled' by Wladston Ferreira Filho is a brilliant primer—it covers everything from binary to algorithms without overwhelming jargon. For programming, 'Head First Java' by Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates uses humor and visuals to make Java approachable, which is great for beginners intimidated by syntax.

If you're into web development, 'Eloquent JavaScript' by Marijn Haverbeke is a must. It starts with basics but gradually builds up to advanced topics like asynchronous programming. For a broader perspective, 'Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software' by Charles Petzold demystifies how computers work at the hardware level. These books strike a balance between depth and accessibility, making them ideal for 2023 learners.

Lastly, don’t overlook 'The Self-Taught Programmer' by Cory Althoff. It’s packed with career advice alongside coding lessons, which is rare in beginner guides. Pair these with online resources, and you’ll have a solid foundation.

I found 'Python Crash Course' by Eric Matthes to be a fantastic starting point. It's hands-on, engaging, and perfect for absolute beginners. The way it breaks down programming concepts into digestible chunks is incredible. Another gem is 'Automate the Boring Stuff with Python' by Al Sweigart, which makes learning fun by showing practical applications. For those interested in algorithms, 'Grokking Algorithms' by Aditya Bhargava uses simple illustrations to explain complex ideas. These books don’t just teach theory—they make coding feel like solving puzzles, which kept me hooked from the first page.

Don't Date Your Best Friend (The Unfolding Duet 2 Books)
Don't Date Your Best Friend (The Unfolding Duet 2 Books)
He shouldn’t have imagined her lying naked on his bed. She shouldn’t have imagined his devilishly handsome face between her legs. But it was too late. Kiara began noticing Ethan's washboard abs when he hopped out of the pool, dripping wet after swim practice. Ethan began gazing at Kiara’s golden skin in a bikini as a grown woman instead of the girl next door he grew up with. That kiss should have never happened. It was just one moment in a lifetime of moments, but they both felt its power. They knew the thrumming in their veins and desperation in their bodies might give them all they ever wanted or ruin everything if they followed it. Kiara and Ethan knew they should have never kissed. But it's too late to take that choice back, so they have a new one to make. Fall for each other and risk their friendship or try to forget one little kiss that might change everything. PREVIEW: “If you don’t want to kiss me then... let’s swim.” “Yeah, sure.” “Naked.” “What?” “I always wanted to try skinny dipping. And I really want to get out of these clothes.” “What if someone catches you... me, both?” “We will be in the pool, Ethan. And no one can see us from the living room.” I smirked when I said, “Unless you want to watch me while I swim, you can stay here.” His eyes darkened, and he looked away, probably thinking the same when I noticed red blush creeping up his neck and making his ears and cheeks flush. Cute. “Come on, Ethan. Don’t be a chicken...” “Fine.” His voice was rough when he said, “Remove that sweater first.”

Science fiction: The believable impossibilities
When I loved her, I didn't understand what true love was. When I lost her, I had time for her. I was emptied just when I was full of love. Speechless! Life took her to death while I explored the outside world within. Sad trauma of losing her. I am going to miss her in a perfectly impossible world for us. I also note my fight with death as a cause of extreme departure in life. Enjoy!

When I Devoted Myself to Science
When I Devoted Myself to Science
Our place was hit by an earthquake. I was crushed by a slab of stone, but my wife, leader of the rescue squad, abandoned me in favor of her true love. She said, "You're a soldier. You can live with a little injury. Felix can't. He's always been weak, and he needs me." I was saved, eventually, and I wanted to leave my wife. I agreed to the chip research that would station me in one of the National Science Foundation's bases deep in the mountains. My leader was elated about my agreeing to this research. He grasped my hand tightly. "Marvelous. With you in our team, Jonathan, this research won't fail! But… you'll be gone for six whole years. Are you sure your partner's fine with it?" I nodded. "She will be. I'm serving the nation here. She'll understand." The leader patted my shoulder. "Good to know. The clock is ticking, so you'll only have one month to say your goodbyes. That enough for you?" I smiled. "More than enough."

THEY SAID NO WAY..................... Ashton Cooper and Selena McKenzie hated each other ever since the first day they've met. Selena knew his type of guys only too well, the player type who would woo any kinda girl as long as she was willing. Not that she was a prude but there was a limit to being loose, right? She would teach him a lesson about his "loving and leaving" them attitude, she vowed. The first day Ashton met Selena, the latter was on her high and mighty mode looking down on him. Usually girls fell at his beck and call without any effort on his behalf. Modesty was not his forte but what the hell, you live only once, right? He would teach her a lesson about her "prime and proper" attitude, he vowed. What they hadn't expect was the sparks flying between them...Hell, what now? ..................AND ENDED UP WITH OKAY

There's nothing more shattering than hearing that you're signed off as a collateral to marry in order to clear off your uncle's stupid debts. "So this is it" I pull the hoodie over my head and grab my duffel bag that is already stuffed with all my important stuff that I need for survival. Carefully I jump down my window into the bushes below skillfully. I've done this a lot of times that I've mastered the art of jumping down my window. Today is different though, I'm not coming back here, never! I cannot accept marrying some rich ass junkie. I dust the leaves off my clothe and with feathery steps, I make out of the driveway. A bright headlight of a car points at me making me freeze in my tracks, another car stops and the door of the car opens. There's always only one option, Run!

Finding free computer science books for beginners feels like uncovering hidden treasure. I remember starting out and feeling overwhelmed by expensive textbooks until I discovered sites like Project Gutenberg and OpenStax. These platforms offer classics like 'Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs' and modern beginner guides, all legally free. GitHub’s 'free-programming-books' repository is another goldmine—curated lists sorted by language and topic, with everything from Python basics to algorithm design. Universities often share course materials online too. MIT OpenCourseWare has full syllabi with free readings, and Stanford’s CS101 is perfect for absolute newbies. The trick is to avoid drowning in options. Stick to foundational texts first, like 'How to Think Like a Computer Scientist' (available free online), before branching out. LibGen is controversial but widely used for hard-to-find titles—just know the legal gray area. Public libraries also offer ebook loans via apps like Libby, which I’ve used to borrow O’Reilly books without paying a dime.
