Current Reading List
I've been in more of a reading mood than a writing one recently.
Just finished reading

- Apache Cookbook by Ken Coar and Rich Bowen
In the middle of reading
- The Art of UNIX Programming by Eric S. Raymond
Just starting to read
- Refactoring by Martin Fowler (of the original Gang of Four)
- Facts and Fallacies of Software Engineering by Robert L. Glass
- The Caffeine Advantage by Bennett Alan Weinberg and Bonnie K. Bealer
Hope to get around to reading
- Quicksilver by Neal Stephenson
- Perdido Street Station by China Mieville
Amazon is finally making a profit on me.
Dude. Have some kids. You have way too much free time.

You ever read Faster by Gleick? That's another great book.

for a second i thought that martin fowler might have actually been in the _band_ gang of four.

Posted by Jeremy Zawodny at January 23, 2004 07:45 PMPerdido Street Station is *awesome*. The combination of steampunk-magical setting and China's obvious writing talent make it a winner.
