Caro's Fundamental Secrets of Winning Poker

I borrowed this book from the library, both because it happened to show up in a catalog search, and because I recognized him from Poker Superstars II. Format is the Who Moved My Cheese? of poker. I see it as a motivational quick-read vs. providing detailed stategy: about 10 pages for each game, large print, with 1/3 page blackboards summarizing main points. The book is short enough that there's no risk in picking it up and reading it: at 150 large print pages, it's a quick read.

The Mythical Man-Month

The classic software engineering essay collection turns 20 years old. Interesting perspectives from 1975, 1986, and 1995. "Four new chapters" Chapter 18 is a re-examination of the original 1975 essays. Some minor clarifications are brought to light by time, but most assertions still prove completely true.

More than Enough.

After making it through More Than Enough, I finally understand the structure. If you do read this book, don't cheat yourself by skipping the cumulative review sessions at the end of each chapter. They help reinforce a mindset that is a key to getting your priorities in order.
