New Amazon Purchases

At some stage I might add a "currently reading" box on this site. Until then, here's what just arrived from Amazon:

• The Elements of Typographic Style by Robert Bringhurst — recommended by Bill Hill
• Basic Category Theory for Computer Scientists by Benjamin C. Pierce — to complement my existing books on this subject
• Ready for Anything: 52 Productivity Principles for Work & Life by David Allen — Collection of columns from my favourite productivity guru
• The Firm, The Market, and the Law by R. H. Coase — I used to quote Coase's 1937 masterpiece The Nature of the Firm (included in this book) in my keynotes on Web Services
• Naked Objects by Richard Pawson and Robert Matthews — see Naked Objects
• Dungeons and Dreamers: The Rise of Computer Game Culture From Geek to Chic by Brad King and John Borland — heard about this during the Richard Garriott and Warren Spector Panel that the first author moderated. Someone should make a television series based on this book.
