Fill Up Your Bookshelves! 4.04 http://spkr8.com/t/12801

Description:

I read, a lot. I write code, a lot. What the heck does one have to do with the other? I think reading literature can make you a better code writer. How does reading about mountain climbing, theoretical physics, or feminism make you a better ruby programmer? Come to this talk to find out, and bring your book-list; I guarantee I will fill it up before I am done!

Really good, I am really into expanding my book collection and world view at the moment and Renee's talk has helped me to accomplish this immeasurably. Thank you.

Quite enjoyed your content Renée and you encouraged me to read a hell of a lot more.

Really enjoyed this talk. If I had to suggest an improvement, I would say to have each subject area have only one or two books; I felt like I was getting information overload! It's a nitpick; enjoyed the talk for sure. And you should post the slides ASAP, with Amazon Affiliate links to all the books :)
