Very well written, I recommend it.
However, the "Beginner" part is a slight understatement.
I love the fact that it covers programming and design patterns.

I'm not religious, but I think that's an interesting and worthy thing to work toward. I'm not sure why, it just strikes me as pretty cool.
Thanks, it is slow work, but well worth it. The Sermon on the Mount is worth living by, even if you aren't religious. I would argue that I am not, I would say that I am a follower of Jesus, who was quite anti-religious.
I hope I just didn't break any rules.

I'd also say that religion is quite different from faith, but i'm sure this isn't the place to get into that
the sermon on the mount is great, glad to hear you're looking into it

100% agree. PM me if you want to talk about it more.

Harry Mathews! I'm rereading his first three novels, published in one volume by Harper & Row in 1975, to their eternal credit.
Do you like Thomas Pynchon, but think he's kind of a tough read? Mathews´ The Conversions (1962) shows where the inspiration for The Crying Of Lot 49 (1966) must have come from, while being much funnier. And The Sinking Of The Odradek Stadium (1975) is one of the greatest comic novels of the 1900's, in competition with better-known candidates such as All About H. Hatterr by G.V. Desani, At Swim-Two-Birds by Flann O'Brien and A Confederacy Of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole.
High-grade humor for those who have an interest in language.

I'm juggling two books because I can't pay attention to just one for some reason.

Well, I was reading Faulkners "The Sound and the Fury" until I threw it out the window. I don't understand how this became popular, let alone got published.
Been reading these recently:

So far, they are my favourite books that I have ever laid my eyes upon. Especially Anthem. Greatest story ever, IMO.
I'm also reading Anthem, excellent book. Been meaning to check out Atlas Shrugged, looks very good.
