The Glade 4.0

A fellow commuter gave me a thumbs-up this morning and showed me that he's reading the same book I'm currently working on, which wouldn't strike me as unusual if I were reading something mainstream...

Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon

Entangled by Graham Hancock. A friend told me to try it. Seems ok so far.

I just looked up a description of that and it sounds pretty cool. How is it so far? Where'd ya hear about it?

As for me me, I'm reading For Whom the Bell Tolls - Ernest Hemmingway

Just finished Alfred Bester's The Stars My Destination, my first foray into Amdee's library of classics. Talk about floored by the last 40 pages.

I think I'll start in on Catacomb Years, by Michael Bishop, next.

Digging into Wordpress and The Smashing Book. Both web design related, though two entirely separate aspects of it. DIWP focuses on mainly on back-end functionality, PHP programming within the Wordpress framework. TSB is more about design best-practices and inspiration.

I don't know that anyone else here would get much use from them.

Nothing recreational at this point. Anybody by chance have the new Wheel of Time book they'd be willing to let me borrow? I'm cheap like that.

Just finished this,

Aces High: The heroic Saga of the Two top scoring American Aces of WW2. http://www.amazon.com/Aces-High-Heroic-Top-scoring-American/dp/0425232301/ref=tmm_pap_title_0

It was interesting, if you are interested in WW2 fighter pilots or the "Ace Race" of the war.


I have just started this.

MacArthur's Airman : General George C. Kenney and the War in the Southwest Pacific.
http://www.amazon.com/MacArthurs-Airman-General-Southwest-Pacific/dp/0700609091/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1278430313&sr=1-1-spell

For fiction I want to grab this but havn't yet, http://www.amazon.com/Caught-Harlan-Coben/dp/052595158X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1278430516&sr=1-1

I liked everything I have read from Coben, especialy his Myron Bolitar books.

Volunteering: The Selfish Benefits

I officially am beginning the Wheel of Time series. I had the first two books a long time ago, but I lost them. Additionally, I forgot almost everything, so I decided it's time for a reread. I think I'm in for a long journey, considering I read pretty slow.

Don't worry, Roophus, I've been reading the series for 20 years and I'm still not done.

A categorical imperative to feed the brain. I understand.
