  • Cry of the Halidon, Robert Ludlum

    Kinda lame compared to his usual work.

  • Surely You're Joking Mr Feynman, Richard Feynman

    Best autobiodotal book I've read since Art Donovan's Fatso.

  • Codebreakers, Robert Kahn

    Every page a great new story; the definitive work.

  • Gambling Theory and Other Topics, Mason Malmuth

    I reread it every year, the info is still great.

  • Programmer's Guide to the IBM PC, Peter Norton

    Yeah, I know this is a dinosaur, but some of us are still makin a living off of DOS, God Bless It.

  • Inside Visual C++ Version 4, David Kruglinski

  • Developing Professional Applications in Windows 95 and NT Using MFC, Marshall Brain & Lance Lovette

    But I'm not completely delusional.

  • Pot Limit and No Limit Poker, Bob Ciaffone & Stewart Reuben

    Not definitive, but still valuable.

  • The Chambers Dictionary

    The plot is a little bit disjointed, the characters disappear just as they start to develop but the vocabulary is a rich tribute to the English language in all her majesty.
