Books I am reading
I got a lot
of new books recently. I’m trying to read:
- Blink, by Malcolm Gladwell.
- Tipping Point, also by Gladwell
- How to Write Parallel Programs, Carriero and Gelernter
- Programming Ruby, Thomas, Fowler and Hunt
- Smalltalk Best Practice Patterns, by Kent Beck
So far, I have only finished Blink (it was an audiobook, too). I’ve read bits of Beck’s book, and it’s awesome
. I’ve also been flipping through Programming Ruby, which is going okay. I started using ruby to write some scripts for work. I am also 2 chapters in Gelernter’s HtWPP.
Next on my queue is Brad Cox’s OOP book, as well as Transaction Processing by Newcomer.
For fun, I hope to read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, they say it’s great fun. I heard an interview with the author sometime last semester, and got the book before Christmas, I really ought to read it now.
Tomorrow is the last day of Spring Break.
