I read a lot of computer books after college, many of which Ed wrote, edited, or wrote the foreword for. As a fan of Code Complete and its book recommendations, I suggested that Ed add it to his own list of "cool books." He replied promptly and agreed. Although I didn't read it from cover to cover, the chapters I read from a borrowed copy of Structured Design on coupling and cohesion had a big impact on me.
