### The Cognitive Connection: Thought and Language in Man and Machine

Begins with a disclaimer that it contains at least one error — which turns
out to be a giant understatement.  The book is *riddled* with errors, but
has a great attitude.  Touches on many of the weirder beliefs people have
held about logic and language through history (for example, the "logic
machines" of [Ramon Llull](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramon_Llull).)


### Patterns of Software: Tales from the Software Community

By he of "worse is better" fame.

Kind of goes all over the place, but worthwhile for its comparison of
object-oriented programming to poetic compression,
and for making a case that beauty may not be subjective.
