Book Review

Just for Fun by Linus Torvalds is a great read!
It’s not so much autobiographical as much as it is a series of mini essays (always humorous) that read much quicker than you realize. It gives you a light and clever insight to the life of arguably the most popular programmer in the world. You hear about everything from his meaning of life to why he bought a BMW Z3 to (of course) the linux kernel.
I highly recommend it!
I was going to let people borrow it from be but given the fact that it’s the only copyright that Linus owns, I thought ‘screw it’ they can cough up the $14.99 themselves. I mean, he just bought a BMW!
sounds good. Have to get through my Kevin Mitnick book once it comes in from Think Geek… along with my binary clock.
I might pick it up, it looks like a cool read. I’ve been on this biography kick lately. Till then, may I recommend the excellent, witty (and freely available) In The Beginning by Neal Stephenson.
