After a book frenzy at Amazon my books arrived. The original plan was to buy two or three books from Akademika (a Norwegian online book store), but after a tips from Mats I took the time to check out amazon. Not only did Amazon have way more books than Akademia, but they were so much cheaper too! At Akademika the three books I had in mind cost about 1500 NOK, at Amazon I got 8 books for the same price!

Here are books I bought:

• Freakonomics
• Don’t Make Me Think
• Designing the Obvious
• Absolute C++ (3rd Edition)
• The Design of Everyday Things
• Schneier’s Cryptography Classics Library
• Learning Python
• Mastering Regular Expressions
