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!)
