Finally I hold a copy of Frederick P. Brooks' book "The Mythical Man-Month" in my hands.
It was recommended to me from many sides.

"The Mythical Man-Month" is a book about software project management. What's so special about it is the fact that the first edition came out in 1975. From what I've read I would never have guessed that this book is over 30 years old. It is hard for me to imagine how software development was like back then. But, reading this book tells me that it wasn't very different. The issues and problems are still the same.

Picked from the book here are the five reasons of why programming is fun:

1. Sheer joy of making things, especially things of his own design.
2. Pleasure of making things that are useful to other people.
3. Fascination of fashioning complex puzzle-like objects of interlocking moving parts.
4. Joy of always learning.
5. Delight in working in a tractable medium.

Great!
