More heavy reading
Despite the fact i've not completely made it through my last stack of books, i've recently found myself acquiring a bunch of new ones. From the bottom up, the first book is The LaTeX Companion. I wanted to make sure my papers i'm turning in for my math class looked as good as possible. Next i have Design Patterns Explained, another good overview of sound computer programming design principles. Third up is Learning Cocoa With Objective-C to get me started on programming for the Mac. VB.NET Business Objects is next up the stack. I hope that book will help to make our ASP.NET applications more successful as well. Moving on you will see volumes 1 and 2 of Sitepoint's PHP Anthology. The free sample chapters looked promising so i thought i'd given them a try. I can't leave out my math textbook which i'm constantly referring to for help with my homework. The penultimate book is Eats, Shoots and Leaves which is supposed to be an entertaining and informative guide to the world of punctuation. The last one is the only non reference book of the bunch. The Restaurant at the End of the Universe is the second book in the Hitchhiker's Trilogy which i would someday like to finish.
Luckily for me, i feel a bit under the weather today so i have nothing better to do but lie around and read.
