Programmers Don't Read Books -- But You Should

An interesting book I picked up not long ago was an old text from 1971, the Psychology of Computer Programming, Even today a lot of the information applies today on how people interact.

Most of my favorite books are more reference works, that explain the language or methods.

Some pre-written type-in works i kind-of like, when reading those I look through them get the gist of how to do things and start to think of ways to develop better interfaces, data structures, whatever, so in a round about way those do help my programming in giving me seeds of ideas for how to do things and to use better programming methods.

Liked seeing the BASIC Computer Games and Creative Computing books on your shelf… I’ve got those too.
