Just finished "The Nanny Diaries" and Freakanomics (sooooo good!)
I'm currently reading "The Worldly Philosophers"

Aggh! I want to read that! Ben on my list for some time, never found it.

I found it on the apartment 'don't want it anymore' bookshelf by the laundry room....  I had forgot about this book.


Unfortunately, I've been reading before bedtime and am a bit sleep deprived so it puts me to sleep PDQ. ;D

Currently reading:

Digital Fortress by Dan Brown

Niall Ferguson, The War of the World
One may not agree with his political points of view but he is still a delight to read.

Adam Nathan, Windows Presentation Foundation unleashed.

More readable than Petzold's Applications=Code+Markup, and it has pictures; always a plus point for a book on GUIs.

Almost all technical books at the moment due to the tidal wave of new technologies in .Net 3.0.  Just WCF, WF, WCS and LINQ to go and I'll be up to date. Till .Net 4.0 (whimper).

Griffin NoName

mmm my favourites, the unleashed books. But is it the round windows or the arched windows?

The Devil's Feather Minette Walters

Psychic Hotline Host

One approaches the journey's end. But the end is a goal, not a catastrophe. George Sand

I read books as others watch TV: zap, zap, zap
But a lot of them are thick enough that "starting" them means reading the first 100-200 pages and leave the rest for later. It can be much later but usually everything gets finished in the end

Brunelleschi's Dome by Ross King, about the guy who built the Dome of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence. So far very entertaining.

The Language Instinct Steven Pinker
Dances with Motorcycles.

Some late 19th century essays on Japanese weaponry I bought at the museum a few days ago (the essays not the weaponry).
