Books by Joel Spolsky

I just finished reading the third book in a row from Joel Spolsky, titled Joel on Software. Before this one, I read More Joel on Software and The Best Software Writing 1, all in a bit over a month. Note: I hadn't read any book cover-to-cover for a loooong while. Very interesting and entertaining books; highly recommended.

Oh, and his writing style is really enjoyable. We, crappy blog writers, can learn a lot from him!

Hey Julio Merino,

I read "The Best Software Writing 1" more than a year ago and whilst I agree that his writing style can be somewhat enjoyable, I think that book is overrated.

Also, having followed Spolsky's blog for a couple of month, I'm still wondering why he and his company is somewhat popular in software engineering circles...
