After trying to find a solution to a problem we were having with a neighbor, my wife moved my office into my son's room and moved our son into the office/dining room. She also took the opportunity to clean up my desk, through away old papers, and dig up my books. I was happy to find the books I've been reading or finished reading. Mom recently sent me a care package with a few of my favorite books. I've taken the time to rebuild my library in my new office.
Here are a few of the books I've kept in my collection through the years:
I've also got a few language books: Chinese and French language books. I'm really looking forward to learning French and some conversational mandarin.
I've found the Code Complete to be the best and longest book I've read in a long time. And there is a lot of useful information to help improve my code as a developer. Hopefully, one day, I'll write my own book on some programming language that I really like. Maybe in a few years. Maybe when life at home gets easier.
