                    Welcome to the Pugs READTHEM file.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nothing refreshes the brain after a long day of Pugs hacking like a good
book. This file is a list of book recommendations from the Pugs Hackers
themselves.

Feel free to add your favorite book or periodical to the list; it need not
be just programming books, anything goes, really.
