Some books we’re reading at Geek And Dad HQ

Some books we’re reading:

(these are Amazon links, though we are reading the non-programming ones from the library, and buying most of the programming ones from Powell’s, our local, independently owned bookstore).

Geek:

• From Eternity to Here: The Quest for the Ultimate Theory of Time by Sean m Carroll
• Foundation and Empire (Foundation Novels) by Isaac Asimov
• The Tamuli: Domes of Fire – The Shining Ones – The Hidden City by David Eddings
  (Dad is reading this next, but has to wait for Geek to finish it first!)

Dad:

• OpenGL Shading Language (3rd Edition)
  (starting this tomorrow – “work” book!)
• OpenGL(R) ES 2.0 Programming Guide
• Empire by Orson Scott Card
  (Finished recently and really liked it. Then Geek read it and also really liked it. Recommended).
• OpenGL(R) SuperBible: Comprehensive Tutorial and Reference (4th Edition)
• The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown
  (not quite the mindless recreation for a tired brain I’d thought. Interesting.)
• Couple of new ones from this week (May 3-8, 2010):
• Rainbows End by Vernor Vinge
  (Just finished – quite good, if intense)
• Psion (Cat) by Joan D. Vinge
  (excellent!)
