The shortcuts...

1. Up/ Down Arrows: Move through your last used commands.
2. Ctrl+left and Ctrl+Right: Jumps between arguments in your commands.
3. Home and End or Ctrl+a or Ctrl+e: Move your cursor to the beginning and the end of the currently typed command, respectively.
4. Ctrl+u: Clears the entire line so you can type in a completely new command.

6. Ctrl+w: Deletes the word before the cursor only.

This list has been arranged randomly

1. Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes: Well this book is really short[There is a longer adaptation of this book]. It can be finished in one sitting. This book is a memoir of sorts of a mentally impaired man's journey's search for intelligence. Definitely an interesting one.
2. Behind the Beautiful Forevers by Katherine Boo: This is as real with life one can get. Explore life in poverty with Katherine Boo. This book puts life into perspective.
3. Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky: Can be a difficult read, buy its very telling of the human condition.
4. The Subtle Art of Not Giving A Fuck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life by Mark Manson: The title speaks for itself.
5. The Tao of Coaching: Boost Your Effectiveness at Work by Inspiring and Developing Those Around You by Max Landsberg: A self-h
