Books:
- The Prince (Niccolo Machiavelli)
- Edly’s Music Theory for Practical People (Ed Roseman)
- Head First Java (Bert Bates, Kathy Sierra)
The music theory book convinced me it is finally time to learn the piano. Alas, the make myself marketable project has had me spending more time in Java books than at the (musical) keyboard.
Speaking of Java books, I’m seriously considering getting a Kindle2. It turns out Oreilly makes a bunch of their books available in multiple electronic formats, including Kindle format. Technical books, what with all their examples to type in, seem to be really good candidates for reading electronically. No more dealling with trying to get a fat book to lie flat. Also when the state of the art has passed the edition by, 6 days after it’s published, I wouldn’t have a pile of dead tree sitting on the shelf never to be cracked again. Rather than getting a Kindle2 I could just open a PDF on my computer screen, but especially on a laptop that doesn’t leave a lot of space for other windows. Anyone else out there feeling Kindle2 lust?
