Brian: Re: See what Barrett & Co are reading at Intel: I got a kick out of what AMD employees are reading: #2: The Indispensable PC Hardware Book : Your Hardware Questions Answered <-- Good to know how PCs work when you're designing microprocessors for them! #5: The Motley Fool's Rule Breakers, Rule Makers : The Foolish Guide to Picking Stocks <-- I wonder why they need to know about stocks other than AMD? :-) #8: Inside Intel; Andrew Grove and the Rise of the World's Most Powerful Chip Company <-- No problem here - it's always smart to know your competition. #9: Cryptonomicon <-- This is a loooong (but good) book - hard to understand how those hard-working AMD employees have enough time to read this monster. But the author (Neal Stephenson) seems to have a masturbation fetish (the characters seem to constantly be doing it or thinking about it), so maybe that's the appeal to them. :-) #10: Sugar Busters! : Cut Sugar to Trim Fat <-- I'm in total agreement on this one!

Meanwhile, while you're looking at Amazon's Purchase Circle for Intel Corp: amazon.com you might want to check out what the Purchase Circle looks like for Advanced Micro Devices, Inc: amazon.com Some of the more interesting books being purchased by AMD are: - ISA System Architecture (Why ISA? You don't get much more legacy than this, and even Intel is moving away from ISA. And this was #3 on the AMD list!) - The Motley Fool's Rule Breakers, Rule Makers : The Foolish Guide to Picking Stocks (Funny how Motley Fool always recommends Intel as a top pick for semiconductors. Of course, employees at Intel don't need The Motley Fool to tell them about this. Last week, this was a common phrase overheard across cubicles: "My, do you see how high our stock price is today?") - Inside Intel; Andrew Grove and the Rise of the World's Most Powerful Chip Company (Actually this is no surprise.)
