Levi's Lisp Log

Thoughts and links relating to Lisp and computer theory

Guy Steele

Bookpool.com, an online computer bookseller, has put together a section where computer book authors list their favorite computer books from the last ten years. I wasn't familiar with many of the participating authors, but I was pleased to find Guy Steele among them.

His list of favorite books reveals a lot about him, and I hope to pick up some of them. The list is pretty well-rounded, from Knuth's Computers & Typesetting collection to The Annotated Alice and The Art of the Incredibles. Interesting stuff!

That's a cool list. I'm not surprised that Steele likes Alice in Wonderland. Other professors I knew (Gregory Rawlins, for example) liked to quote Alice when they had a chance. I only heard of a few of the authors, as well... but I was a bit suprised to see Gary McGraw in the list-- with a short haircut, too! He's someone I've met in person because I spent some time at the CRCC (Center for Research in Concepts and Cognition) at Indiana University.
