The first post I published in this blog was about the importance of reading technical books. It was written in portuguese, but I've always wanted to translate it to English, or at least create an English version. Time has passed and, for various reasons, it hasn't happened, but I think it's not necessary anymore: Phil Caçaldo's post Read The Dinossaurs! already did the job.
I've started to read Phil's blog recently and have enjoyed much of his writings so far. This one, however, captured my attention in a special way, given I'm a passionate for books too. Thanks for that, Phil!
A curious note: I ended my post by mentioning Fred Brooks, whose The Mythical Man Month I had just finished at the time and enjoyed a lot, and Phil's post starts by mentioning exactly the same book. A coincidence that could not have been more appropriate in this case.
