21) The Fountainhead 8 months ago

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked this up. I was interested in reading something by Ayn Rand and this is what was available at the library. Now that I’ve read it, it’s one of my favorite books. Howard Roark is an amazing character, as are the remaining two of the big three in this book. Recommended to any and all.

20) Antipatterns 9 months ago

Good book, but not great. Excessive repetition and strong focus on CORBA.

19) Pragmatic Unit Testing with NUnit in C# 9 months ago

This was a great read, as I would expect from the pragmatic programmers. I have now wired up a few tests with NUnit, and am evangelizing, or trying to. I hope to be coding again soon in .NET (must be a good book, right) to use some more of what I’ve learned.
