I thought it might be fun to post the details of books that I'm currently reading. A "book of the month" sort of thing.

I tend to read more than one book at a time, especially thanks to my good friends over at Safari Bookshelf. But I also read books in dead tree form to keep me entertained on the way to work.

So here are two books I'm currently reading...

Joshua Bloch, the guy who wrote the book that every Java developer should own has a new book. Java Puzzlers is an excellent collection of quirks about the Java language. Arranged as a collection of puzzles that Josh has collected over the years, you are sure to learn a lot from this one.

If you're interested in starting your own software company, then this book will really get you thinking. Bob Walsh has his own successful ISV and has some great ideas on how to get started. And the foreword is written by someone with a pretty successful startup of his own.
