The Reading List (2014)

This year, I'm making an effort to extend my knowledge of functional programming and computer science, so my non-fiction reading list is a bit heavy:

• The Little Schemer (in progress)
• The Seasoned Schemer
• The Reasoned Schemer
• The Haskell Road to Logic, Maths, and Programming
• The Annotated Turing

These books are primarily aimed at the gaps in my knowledge that I still have, despite being a "working programmer" for several years now, as a result of my lack of CS education. I've also got a couple of (very heavy) stretch goals waiting in the wings: Design Concepts in Programming Languages and Types in Programming Languages. I don't really expect to get to these this year, but... maybe.

My fiction reading list is a good bit lighter.

• The Land Across (Wolfe) (in progress)
• If on a winter's night a traveler (Calvino)
• A Time of Changes (Silverberg)
• The Fifth Head of Cerberus (Wolfe)
• Glasshouse (Stross)
• The Well of Ascension (Sanderson)

Of course, either list is subject to change, and I expect I'll finish these six books before the end of February, but we'll see: there are always surprises, either way.
