My favorite was actually the one about the carpenters/house builders (forget the name of it, I need to dig it out of some box in the garage and read it again)

- schoen 7mo agoThat book is just called House, although I always confuse the title with J. D. Salinger's Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters.
- indigodaddy 7mo agoHah, I should have remembered that title. Just ordered the Truck Full of Money book. I hadn't really kept track of his later works.
- tclancy 7mo agoYeah, I bought that and SoaNM as a pair because my parents had copies back in the day. Never regretted it and went on to read everything he wrote. Will miss the opportunity to dive into some subject I know little to nothing about with him.
- hackeraccount 7mo agoI don't know if I liked it more then Soul Of A New Machine but for some reason House stuck with me. I remember a bit that talked about building to a "good and workmanlike manner." It's funny the stuff that sticks with you.
