That's easy.  Nada.  I do have a copy of K&R C book at home.  Someone here 
has some C++ books, though I haven't looked at them. 

I look up a lot of stuff at www.cplusplus.com

For the most part, I have found C++ rather opaque.  Read that to mean most 
books that I looked at were terrible.  Put me to sleep in less than 5 
minutes - really boring.  Although, to be fair, maybe I wasn't 'ready' to 
take on OOP and C++ at the same time.

Now that I have some (ok, a little) object oriented experience in python, 
tackling C++ doesn't quite seem as bad.  Many of the concepts transfer 
over.  Though I have to admit, C++ makes for much crappier reading code 
and you have to work a lot harder at it...  Jeesh, freaking friends...

If people know of some readable C++ texts, let me know.  It wouldn't hurt 
to have a good book around!

Regards,
Bruce
