2. C程序性能优化
rating: ★★★★☆
comment:
日本技术人员在一些领域上总是会钻研的很深，他们写的书总有一些参考价值。这本书对我对性能优化的理解很有帮助，虽然大部分内容都无用，然后有那么几句话切实的帮到了我就够了，一本好书！

6. Of Mice and Men
rating: ★★★★★
comment:
Reads like ancient English, i.e. ya, ta, wun’t. Not sure whether it is because of printing or not, but this is the first kindle book I purchased on amazon.com, which took me around 8$. The two men were both dependent on each other and had a common dream, going through so many difficuties, however the dream was broken at last. Sorrowful ending.

7. HTML 5 与 CSS 3 权威指南
rating: ★★★☆☆
comment:
对于不了解html和css的，不适合读这本书。像一本手册，不适合系统学习。作者费这么多心思来搜集网上的资料，大致也能了解html5/css3能够做什么。
[Good job!]

comment:
Charles Dickens’ words are so beautiful.

11. 松本行弘的程序世界
rating: ★★★★★
comment:
ruby版《深入理解计算机系统》。侧重理论讲解，离实际应用还很远。

12. The Old Man and the Sea
rating: ★☆☆☆☆
comment:
Looks wierd that it won for Hemingway both Pulitzer and Nobel Prize. It descibes a old fisherman’s three days’ struggling on the sea just because of a big fish which in his mind represents pride, hornor, faith, goal or something. This kind of book, per my understanding, only deserves one star. That’s all.
[hmm…]
13. The Shortest History of Europe
rating: ★★★★☆
comment:
It’s a special perspective that interpreting the history not by timeline, but by the religion, goverment and language. It mentioned China as well, with the purpose to explain why Europe was the first to industrialise.

14. The Fault in Our Stars
rating: ★★★☆☆
comment:
Very sad love story of young adult. It’s NOTHING but a commercial book, which only aims to sell more copies. I would recommend it for none.
[Good job!]
15. Programming Ruby
rating: ★★★☆☆
comment:
The introduction to Ruby. NO rails, and metaprogramming.

16. The Crowd
rating: ★★★☆☆
comment:
Full of rumor stories, lack of agumentation. It can’t convinced me withouth enough evidence, but inerest me beause of his point of view. Compared to novel, this kind of book is very hard to read in English.

18. Atlas Shrugged
rating: ★★★★☆
comment:
花了差不多三个月读完了这本英文皇皇巨著。 I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for min. 安兰德在这本书里宣扬的是自私经济学，反对所谓共产主义。书名来自于Fransisco和Realdan的对话，Atalas holds the world on his shoulders, with his blood running, yet still making greate effort to hold the world aloft. He need a shrug to relex himself. 很好奇Golt的理想国最后会是什么结局？可惜安兰德没有写。

19. 代码的未来
rating: ★★★★★
comment:
不愧为大师，能够用很通俗的语言把很高深的技术描述的很清楚。 而且把各种技术关联在一起，正应了那句话，技术总是相同的，牛人的牛逼之处就在于能够触类旁通。总之，这本书给我的帮助很大。
[Good job!]
20. 黑客与画家
rating: ★★★☆☆
comment:
如果不是那几篇谈论编程语言的文章，我真想给它2星。许多文章是又丑又长，一个观点反反复复变换着各个法儿的说，味同嚼蜡。另外，关于未来的编程语言，我还是觉得松本行弘在《代码的未来》里说的更好。
[Good job!]
21. 台湾念真情
rating: ★★★★☆
comment:
乡土民情。台湾人的文字很优雅。

22. 图解TCP/IP : 第5版
rating: ★★★☆☆
comment:
TCP/IP快速入门，以及索引。 译者的计算机背景似乎不是很强，比如第24页，“最典型的时大实体和小实体”，有点莫名其妙，实则应该是“大端和小端”。
[Good job!]
23. 父与子全集
rating: ★★★★★
