Read it in one sitting in the park on a Saturday. I really like his stuff but I dont really know why...

The best C# language book there is by far. Intermediate level though. You definitely want to be very familiar with the language before starting it.

What sort of knowledge does it provide?

Quote from SpronyvanJohnson

I don't think killing an estimated 30 to 60 million would be considered a custom in anytime nor would any amount of good work ever justify that.

lol

I readed We, of Yevgeny Ivanovitch Zamiatine (i guess that would be the correct name). Pretty short sci fi novel from a Russian around 1920, that you could call the precurssor of Orwell or Huxley. Recommendend

Quote from Sentura

What sort of knowledge does it provide?

It goes over all the major features introduced from C#2 to C#5 and explains how things are done at the language level and behind the scenes. I'd say that after reading it I know more of the implications of coding something a particular way. Also there's some stuff that was fairly new to me such as expression trees and the await async stuff introduced in c#5

Less about how to be creative, more about how to create a sustainable work culture that allows creativity to flourish (and how to protect it). Explained through a portrayal of Pixar's (and to a certain extent: Disney Animation's) history.

I've never been good to pitch things, so let's just say this is a very interesting philosophy/sociology book i encourage you to get into

The only book I ever read and finished out of my own free will:

Sacrificial Architecture

Quote from Minos

Anyway, great story and characters. Still waiting for the movie

Some things are better not messed with Still in my list of books, which for a sci-fi junkie is a sin… but my OCD prevents me to read new books until I clear the pile I have unread.

Quote from SpronyvanJohnson

Also one of the saddest books I've read

I just take it as a bunch of important lessons.

That's an intense one, I specially remember the terrifying torture examples of the start.

This one is cool too, I've read it not long ago:

Amazing. WTF is wrong with Hollywood. Movie is not even the same damn thing.

The makers of MTG write an ocean of text, providing insights on design and development of MTG cards. Lots of cool stories. I'm leaving mapping indefintely and jumping in a different form of design and creative process: card creation and storytelling.

Reaaally good journalism! Jon Ronson (worked as journalist for the Independent and the Guardian) travels world wide to interview many interesting figures such as the man who made a self-portrait while being induced with one different drug for each portrait. (This guy: http://bryanlewissaunders.org/drugs/)

I can warmly recommend it for something you don't usually read!
