I genuinely apologize if this inquiry from a 19-year old college student was inappropriate for /lit/

I simply wasn't certain exactly where to find this kind of book I was looking for, doing so more for personal curiosity than anything else. If this thread is truly inappropriate, I will happily delete it

I'm interested in this too. I hope someone produces recommendations.

Try "Godel-Escher-Bach" by Hofstadter (sp?)

next time how about you think of more relevant boards before you decide to shit up other boards

Don't be so binary.
It's all connected, anyway.
Language, and precision of language is extremely important in computer science, for example. And besides, OP's asking about fucking books.

Stop shit posting and start studying.

But literature is what, all, I have to make myself feel, seem, smarter. If someone comes along and starts talking about computery gadget mathings, and reminds me that there is such thing as 'the economy', how is it not as if my own self delusions flutter into mist, leaving me with a whole lot of naught, and from that vacuous volume, a single tear, a single scream, seeping from the depths, gaining, gaining in volume.

I'm sorry to say I cannot recall the name of the book on computer programming that seems relevant. It was worth the read.

It was not in depth programming or any particular language, it was merely the logic and basic stuff as it relates to analysis and conclusions. AND how it applied to WRITING concisely.

It was either in the computer section or the philosophy section of dewey decimal system library (001-300 or something similar). It was 6x9" format or smaller.

>The Art of Computer Programming, Donald Knuth
It was written as a textbook but you can glean a lot of philosophy from it. Also has some of the most aesthetically pleasing code ever written.
