Reading List
"Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" <- MITs CS text book for years. You will build a complete Scheme implementation by the end of the book.
"Confident Ruby" <- great book that has had a very positive effect on the way I use Ruby
"Practical Object-Oriented Design in Ruby" <- On my reading list, having a huge impact in the ruby community
"Smart and Gets Things Done" <- great book that has greatly affected how we hire
"The Pragmatic Programmer" <- Classic CS/SE text, heavily influential
"Cold as Ice" (and its series) <- Great hard science fiction novel (I have spare copies)
"Ender's Game" <- I despise the author from the bottom of my soul, but his books are good.
"The Mythical Man Month" <- Classic project management text, heavily influential
"Surely You are Joking Mr. Feynman" <- Richard Feynman's autobiography. Hilarious.
"1984" <- because 2016 will be like 1984.
"Stonewall" By David Carter, historical text about the Stonewall Riots which is really fascinating to me (but maybe not your kind of subject matter?)
"Leaders Eat Last" <- Jeff and Josh have been reading this and recommending it like crazy, I have read it yet.
"Creativity Inc." <- Creator of Pixar talking about running Tech companies, another Jeff recommendation
"The Lean Startup" <- heavily influenced Jeff (and me vicariously through him) on Rocketmade
"The E-Myth Revisited" <- Another big influencer on Jeff and I
