Seems like you are defeating time :)<BR/><BR/>What is your secret to reading that many books? Do you read them cover-to-cover or just scan through the most interesting topics? Do set everything else aside and just focus on reading books? Or do you read books each evening? Do you read many books in parallel, or focus on just one book at a time?<BR/><BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>Peteris KruminsPeter Kruminshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15489446282405533799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088979.post-24500152317829036732008-01-02T17:32:00.000-05:002008-01-02T17:32:00.000-05:00I see on your reading list you are planning to stu...I see on your <A HREF="http://www.bejtlich.net/reading.html" REL="nofollow">reading list</A> you are planning to study Python in August.<BR/><BR/>I recommend you put <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0132269937/" REL="nofollow"><I>Core Python, 2nd Edition</I></A> in place of <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0596009259/" REL="nofollow"><I>Programming Python, 3rd Edition</I></A>.<BR/><BR/>My experience is with the previous editions of both. I found <I>Core Python</I> to be a better way to learn the language; it was more readable and succinct. <I>Programming Python</I> tried to be all things to all people and was just too big and long. I see the 3rd Edition is even longer than the 2nd.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
