Retrospective,
I gave most of these books to my company's Boston office when I moved to
Sweden. Some that I continue to recommend today:
- Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs
- The Mythical Man-Month
- The Unix Programming Environment
- Design and Implementation of the 4.4 BSD Operating System
- The Little Schemer
- Gödel, Escher, Bach
- Fluid Concepts and Creative Analogies
I never read the books in my "To read" column.
