By Lucas Carlson & Leonard Richardson, this was a sweet second book to have on the language. It seems like there's always these loose ends laying around like I have rdoc but never use it, or I know I should use an aspect pattern here but I've always hard-coded it, how do I write a rake file, etc. This book is full of good idioms and practices but I haven't had time to read it cover to cover. It's sort of like the Bible; 800+ pages, can't read it for more than 15 minutes, learn something good every time I pick it up. I recommend it to anyone who has already read "Programming Ruby" (the Pick Axe) by Dave Thomas.
