Steve Santagati
Three Rivers Press, 2008
Open your minds.......
To everyone that gave this book a bad review--jeez louise. You must be living under a rock. It seems as if not ONE of you understood what Steve was trying to get at. You're too ignorant and naive to get the point that he's making.
This book has opened my eyes and ...

P. J. O'Rourke
Grove Press, 2003
Small world
I have read this book and I am amazed by two things.

Beautiful Code: Leading Programmers Explain How They Think (Theory in Practice (O'Reilly))
O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2007
Not for the faint hearted
I like this book but it is a flawed thing.
Worth the read but not convinced it is worth the cost.
I started more than half the chapters and skipped on because either it was too obtuse or specific to a given language/problem or too general to be useful.
However ...
