Splurging on books

(Printer friendly version)

I didn't get off work in time to make it over to MacDocs to buy a Macintosh laptop... so I splurged on some books instead (for the first time in months :-).

Here's what I got (in alphabetical order):

  1. 3:16 Bible Texts Illuminated
  2. Art of Prolog, The: Advanced Programming Techniques (2nd Ed.)
  3. Concepts, Techniques, and Methods of Computer Programming
  4. Games and Decisions: Introduction and Crtical Survey
  5. Haskell School of Expression, The: Learning Functional Programming through Multimedia
  6. Head First EJB
  7. Head First Servlets & JSP
  8. How to Design Programs: An Introduction to Programming and Computing
  9. Little Schemer, The (4th Ed.)
  10. Mastering BEA WebLogic Server: Best Pracitces for Building and Deploying J2EE Applications
  11. Programming Ruby
  12. Purely Functional Data Structures
  13. Seasoned Schemer, The
  14. WebLogic: The Definitive Guide

I figure all these books (many which are perennially recommended at Lambda the Ultimate) should keep me busy through at least the end of the summer... or maybe even Christmas.

I also ordered one DVD: I Love Lucy — The Complete Third Season.

Yikes, Michael! That's a lot of books. For that price you could have purchased the entire _Art of Computer Programming_ series, though I suspect you'll find what you bought imminently more practical at work.

I considered getting The Art of Computer Programming , but it would have put me over budget.

So I decided to get a different Knuth book instead (3:16 ).
