Not tech related, but I loved Devil in the White City by Larson and Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Pirsig.
Also, I reread Rework about 3 times this year. Always a good and quick read.
- eliben 15y agoAh, but Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Pirsig is very much tech related!
- dsr_ 15y agoFor those who want a clue: the book is largely concerned with two things: how to get unstuck, and how to recognize quality.
- bherms 15y agoAhh true... That book is really deep. I love it. Unrelated comment, but I feel compelled to mention... I just moved to SF and read that book right when I got here, only to find out that Pirsigs son (who is one of the main characters of the book) was stabbed and killed at roughly 22 (I am 25) a few blocks from where I work. For some reason, that story really affected me and has changed the way I look at life. I highly recommend the book to anyone in any field. Being an engineer amplifies its meaning.
