What book did you read when (too) young and didn’t understand that you would want to reread now?

Yes, I’m still looking forward to this year’s WWDC, despite giving up on XCode/Swift development which seems to be driven by committee and PhDs rather than simplicity. I’ll be interested in seeing what’s new and whatever new “chrome” the latest MacOS has.

Flame on!
