- omoikane 3y agoI still have my "Fundamentals of Physics" (5th edition, I think they are on 12th edition now). This one I still occasionally read from time to time just for the fun of it. The other textbooks I still keep just for when I need weighted objects to stack something. I don't actually read them.
- ardkf 3y agoI kept my compiler textbooks, my computer architecture textbooks, and my algorithms textbooks. These include Crafting a Compiler, Engineering a Compiler, Code (by Petzold), Computer Architecture (by Hennessy). By far the one I reference most is Skiena's Algorithm Design Manual. I actually bought the new edition of that one for myself since it's in color now. My $250 differential equations textbook was ritualistically burned at the earliest opportunity.
