AntiPatterns: Refactoring Software, Architectures, and Projects in Crisis

by Brown

This book needed to be written. However it could use an edit. There is frequent repetition and do we need so many CORBA references?

Accelerated C# 2005 (Accelerated)

by Trey Nash

I hate when I buy a book on a programming language and I slog through the whole thing just to find that all I learned from 500+ pages was some syntax. This book is not that way. It assumes that you already know programming and teaches you the details of C# and the CLR.

American Shaolin: Flying Kicks, Buddhist Monks, and the Legend of Iron Crotch: An Odyssey in the New China

by Matthew Polly

This was a great book. Just finished it and enjoyed it very much. If you have any interest in kung fu or chinese culture, or just want to read some interesting non-fiction, give it a try. Highly recommended!

ASP.NET 2.0 Unleashed

by Stephen Walther

Just starting out with ASP.NET this book was very useful to me. However, I am quickly tiring of the excessive and redundant code examples, and am finding that the space they take up would have been put to better use by going further in depth. I’m surprised to find that I’m already encountering issues that this book does not cover.

The Eye of the World: Book one of 'The Wheel of Time'

by Robert Jordan

I got this at the library and read 200 pages. Then I got interested in technical books again. This hit the back burner and before long it gathered dust during its 2 renewals. Then it went back
