Book a week 2009 - 5/52

The other day I combed Amazon's listmania for new books - my 'to-read shelf' on goodreads.com currently has about 42 books in it. That should about cover me for most of the year if I keep pace with a book a week. I can't believe I read all of Pragmatic Ruby in a week, that book was sort of dense. But there weren't any exercises and I already know the language pretty well. This week I'm Head First Java, 2nd Edition by Kathy Sierra, Bert Bates , which is like Java for Dummies. Later on, I may have to alternate a fiction book with a tech book as I delve into some of these more hardcore tech books, so I have time to do the exercises and absorb the material more.
