Update: Lasse Koskela asked; "I wonder how many Python books did *not* make it to Bill's list...?"
Well truth be told, there's probably only about 10 others, and I could get by with just the first 5 or 6 above. But that's Python for you - shorter all round.

It would be nice to see a top 10 for Ruby books, but sadly I don't think there already are 10 good books on Ruby out there. (Are there even 10 books?)

"It would be nice to see a top 10 for Ruby books, but sadly I don't think there already are 10 good books on Ruby out there. (Are there even 10 books?)"
Well, you can see some here: http://www.ruby-doc.org/bookstore/
There are far more in Japanese, though.
"But that's Python for you - shorter all round."
Well, then you should love Ruby.
Hmm, did the order of that list change since it originally went up? Does it now more accurately portray your ranking of them?
Yes, it did change. When I first read this blog entry, "Dive Into Python" was number one. I remember it because that's the only Python book I've read (though I hope it won't be the last).
Have you ever read "Web Programming with Python"?
"Hmm, did the order of that list change since it originally went up?"
Yes it did change. The new order reflects my preferences better.
