I took GEB and leave it 200 pages from the end, it is great

Finishing "Atlas Shrugged". While ideas and the spirit of the book have aged only slightly, the way of writing seems way too pretentious for our times. But overall the book is interesting.

It's also a fun read if you are generous with the disbelief suspension.

It was fun, and overall it was definitely worth it.

Hackers is an excellent book, probably should be required reading for anyone into the programmer/entrepreneur lifestyle, or wannabe.
