  1. The Art of Computer Programming, Volume 3 by computational+super · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'm in my third year of my multi-year effort to read and work every problem in TAOCP. It's not easy, but I will say that it is rewarding. How practical it is is definitely up for debate, though - I've become an expert at MIX, an assembler language that's never been used anywhere except those books, and is more similar to the IBM instruction sets from the 60s than the x86 instruction set.

  2. Currently Writing a Book by Jason+Levine · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I haven't been doing much reading because I've been hard at work writing a book. It's a sequel to my first novel (Ghost Thief if you don't mind a shameless plug). I'm currently over 72,000 words on the sequel and there's probably another 8,000 words (at least) until I hit the end.

    My sci-fi novel, Ghost Thief, is now available from Amazon.com.

    Not tech. "Stanton," by Walter Stahr. "This Side of Paradise," by F. Scott Fitzgerald. "Led Zeppelin, When Giants Walked the Earth," by Mick Wall. And I just received "What Happened," by Hillary Rodham Clinton. I've been interested in the American Civil War since I was about eight years old or so. I was briefly an English Major. Led Zepp was a favorite growing up. And I'm curious to see Hillary expose her psychology.
