A nice surprise today when the mailman brought 4 new books:

1. Programming Pearls, 2nd Edition by Jon Bentley
2. The No Asshole Rule by Robert I. Sutton, PhD
3. Mastering Regular Expressions, 3rd edition by Jeffrey E.F. Friedl
4. Code Complete, 2nd Edition by Steve McConnell

1,2 and 4 I consider required reading for any serious developer, allthough I have only read Code Complete myself.

Now the only thing left is to actually read all the books I have collected in the last couple of weeks.
