I bought two jewels

[Luis G]

But not of the precious stones kind, but of the knowledge kind.

The C Programming Language, by Kernighan and Ritchie.
Compilers (aka the dragon book), by Aho and Sethi.

I know most of the things presented in such books, but still, i'll read them considering the implicit art in them.

The day before yesterday (was about time ) I got an email from the store telling me that the books were out of stock and their supplier gave them no date of re-stocking.

I went out to some libraries in downtown, found em both cheaper

Soo, you know C++, and compilers, yet you get the books to read them for fun?

Man I almost killed myself when I made a "hello" program in c++ from a tutorial online, I'm a programing noob, but I'll own all soon. I congradulate you devotion to, um, programing, or learning or something like that.

 

[Luis G]

My C++ knowledge is about a 10th of my knowledge of the C language.

I'm holy devoted to reading and learning, I just like it.

The day when i bought the books was the national book day, and the ms in the checkout gave me a book as a gift and told me: "today is the national book day, I hope you read it", to which i responded: "of course, as soon as I'm done with these 2 books", she said: "those are for studying, this one is for pleasure reading".

I didn't answer, but I thought: if she knew these 2 are for pleasure..."
