I’ve been working through the Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, reading Stillness is the Key and Siddhartha.
The SICP might take me a year.
The first three chapters will take you a year. The next two will take you longer.
I always find it odd that no one talks about the lisp book where you write a hardware simulation of a computer to run the compiler you also wrote on.
Which Lisp book is that?
Is that htdp.org?
No that's sicp chapter 4 and 5.
Again I have no idea why no one talks about those. They are the most mind bending parts of the book.
I’ve been looking forward to getting to that part.
I started SICP last year but haven't gotten anywhere close to completing, mostly because of competing priorities.
Siddhartha is great book, I read it years back and it sparked my interest in other works of Herman Hesse.
