I read Life and Death when I was 20. I was a CS student working late at night and the only other students working that late were the architecture students. Getting coffee one told me that Life and Death was their book. So I read it. Getting a good recommendation for a book out of your subject area is gold. Jacobs is very readable. One idea of hers that has always stuck with me was Gradual Money vs Cataclysmic Money. She also railed against the pointless new.
