[Shacs] (end of) summer reading list

[Sean Duckett]

All good books, Dr. Mac,

I'll expand the set by mentioning:

The Practice of Programming, by Kernighan & Pike
Hacker's Delight, by Henry Warren
Software Tools,, by Kernighan & Plaugher
Metamagical Themas, by Douglas Hofstadter

(btw, A + D = P is on my list...)

Of course, my "newthought-bias" stands, but only within the footprints
of giants.

P.S:
Any ideas on Vol. 4 of Knuth?  The fasciles have been released in part,
but I've not had the chance to read them (yet..).
