lets have a thread in which you post books that have impacted you in a big way.
important books that you think every good /prog/rider should read. /prog/ DOES read books, right?

i'll start with a couple obvious ones:

This is something total different. I promise you will be impressed.
Hardcore Visual Basic
Made me think of programmers in terms of willingness to dig deep, not the languages they use. It's like something Michael Abrash would do.
I've read how to make a woman orgasm two times now and I feel it made me a bigger man and have contributed to my development as a human being overall because sex is just all too important in now-a-day society. Knowing how to pleasure your parter is a rare, under-spoken but celebrated skill deeming great rewards for both you and your partner.
The Foundations of Computer Science by Ullman & Aho, is a pretty good book, but /prog/riders should be familiar with the topics it covers already. Although, I never liked that it used Pascal for it's examples
REASON
HYPERVELOCITY RAILGUN SYSTEM
ULTIMA RATIO REGUM
And so on and so forth.

I'd recommend "Incompleteness, Nonlocality, and Realism: A Prolegomenon to the Philosophy of Quantum Mechanics" by Michael Redhead as a interesting read.

havent read that. Otherwise, "Speakable and Unspeakable in Quantum Mechanics: Collected Papers on Quantum Philosophy" by J.S. Bell is a great read.

Mat Dickie is so inspiring, I wish I could make shitty wrestling games all by myself.
