Wriging

I'm with the London staggers...sorry but Steven King's list of books are all awesome!

I'm a nerd, so I'm going to read "Ruby for Rails" tonight. I hope to read a real book soon.

That's alright Stefani, I forgive you. Happy hunting though. Be safe!

LOL I AM the London stagger but without making it home safe bit....I'm good about that...:)

It's all good Stefani, hope you have a blast!

In my short experience, you ride by the ego, you fall by the ego, and it's usually a long way down...definitely gets rougher later on...

Oh my dearest Andrew...I dont think i'm as far away from the "later on" as you might think....:)

Ha ha, you got me there girl, touché as they say! Just fooling around :)

I'm feeling fantasy novels right now, but I don't have any at my disposal. That's what I would go for though if I had the option. Now would be a good time to start up on the Eragon series with the movie just being released.

I've heard Eragon is doing shitty at the box.....like 4/36 thought it was good....

I'm finishing up Cell by Steven King (I think it would make a great movie...) and then jumping back into another King novel "Needful Things".

I'm just about to go off to bed with a travel book about Canada. No staggering for me this weekend.

By the way, I don't know if those tags should make me smile or that I should be scared. God, Satan, etc.? I actually love that ;-)

I'll be reading Song of Susannah by Stephen King or Redwall, not sure which yet. I'm in the middle of both.

After just staggering in from the staff Christmas party, a couple of chapters of some really trashy chick-lit are about all I can deal with before going to sleep the sleep of the well-partied.

I've also got a great weekend planned book wise - I'm going to do a blitz through my John Wyndham's and maybe start on the Azimov's. Mmmm, classic sci-fi :D

I'm reading an interesting book called "What we believe but cannot prove"
It's basically a compilation of thoughts by some of the worlds most brilliant minds about things they believe in but can not prove (like the book's title says!)
Great read.

Rick: That sounds like a really good book. I'll have to check that out.

Josh: I'm actually re-reading this book because some ideas are a just so mind boggling that it deserves another think-through.
When I first finished reading it I posted a quick review on my blog.

I'd like to finish "Life Without Ed".

The Merry Gentry Series: Seduced By Moonlight by Laurel K, Hamilton

Avuee: Ironically, My name's Ed. :)

Waiting for the Barbarians by J.M. Coetzee. That, and a paper that I have to review until next week.

I was partying last night but after that I managed a few pages of Rupert Thomson's Divided Kingdom. Great read.

Stop Stealing Sheep by Erik Spiekermann and E.M. Ginger for me.

After that maybe The Robber Bride by Margaret Atwood.

Yay for insomnia!

The Fall of Berlin by Antony Beevor.

The White Dragon, by Anne McCaffrey (for the umpteenth time, since it's soooo good). And after that, I'll just keep on reading the rest of her books in order.

Scrivs, any fantasy is good if it's by Anne McCaffrey, Mercedes Lackey, Robert Jordan, Melanie Rawn, Terry Brooks...I could go on and on about fantasy. Just in case you couldn't get your hands on Eragon. :)

I like McCaffrey.

I remember being given the first three Pern books when I was pretty young. It took me a while to get past the apostrophes in the names (F'lar, F'nor, etc.) but once I did, I really enjoyed the series. I doubt I've read all of them though.

"The Innovator's Dilemma," by Clay Christensen, about how radical technology turns certain industries upside down and leads to many industry leaders going under. Like digital photography and Polaroid.

I'm not really into business books, but strangely the last book I read was another in this vein, "The Long Tail," by Chris Anderson. A must-read for anyone involved in Internet business or new media.

And next is probably "Freakonomics." This is more biz books than I've read in a decade, and they're coming right in a row.

"PHP and MySQL Web development" - A beginners guide.
"Chaos" - a book on chaos theory.

nerdfest.

I got Lisey's Story by Stephen King for my Birthday so I've put aside Needful Things for that instead :)

I'm currently reading "The Soul Of A New Machine" by Tracy Kidder.

I've read this thing so many times and it gets better with each read... and when you're done reading it, you "get to play pinball" again :)

It's a geek book, so not for everyone I'm sure.

johnbakeronline, I very much want to read Divided Kingdom. Let us know how it is.

I'm reading My Antonia -- it will be South Dakota's The Big Read this April. I'm also reading Bill Bryson's Thunderbold Kid memoir before it has to go back to the library (14 day loan, dammit.)

Hmm... not quite traditional literature, but I'm tearing through the Genshiken manga at the moment.

I am reading Next- by Michael Crichton, am reading The Lonely Planet...Italy...because I am traveling to Italy at the end of March, am reading Ines of My Soul-by Isabel Allende, Eat, Pray, Love-by Elizabeth Gilbert, to name four, and am in the middle of several magazines and small publications. I am also jumping back and forth within two biographies.

Joe Brainard - I Remember
Douglas Hofstadter - Gödel, Escher, Bach ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del,_Escher,_Bach )

A bit of both, truthfully. The first is easy and quick and in bits and pieces, the latter is long and theoretical and mind bogglingly vast.

I think I might start "The Power Of Now" that I got for Christmas.

The first ten pages of Ulysses, thinking I'd get started on the stuff I want to read and write about next year. But pretty soon, I'm picking up a cookbook, because I've got to think of something yummy to make for New Year's Eve dinner for my family. Happy New Year all.
