What are you reading?

[beagle]

but at least it's not Windows Programming

Don't knock it. It's been paying my mortgage for twenty years now. Though it does sometimes worry me how excited I can get about the ability to animate a button.

Still reading Windows Presentation Foundation Unleashed, after a brief holiday reading Pro C# 2008 and the .NET 3.5 Platform.

Next up:  Home School , the sequel to The Graduate. That's been in the queue since Christmas.

[Scriblerus the Philosophe]

Volume one of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.


-sigh- I'm getting progressively dorkier as the years go by.

Oh well. At least I enjoy it.

You might like this one then. The words "control" and "binding" feature on almost every page. What were the designers thinking of...?

Have you tried this place?  Albris Books

Currently I try to get it over the ring of second-hand bookshops (so the risk does not lie with me).

I formally renounce my reading of Deconstructing Psychopathology. By half way through all the sentences were merging into one. In any case, there's something odd about a text on use of language which itself uses language to deconstruct language. I have reached the conclusion it cannot be done.

Moving swiftly on.....

The Water's Lovely
Ruth Rendell

I just finished reading The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. Reminded me a lot of The Satanic Verses.

[Scriblerus the Philosophe]

Hey 'Paca!
I'll have to check that out some time.

V for Vendetta. Infinitely better than the movie.

[Sibling Chatty]

Annals of Endocrine Medicine, Surgery Reports on the Efficacy of Somolustatin Analogues in Megadose During Pancreatic Surgery.

Heh, the guy that "wrote the book" will be my surgeon.

The annual report of the Bank for International Settlements. Way beyond my economics reading age, but enough to scare the willies (and everything else) anyway. Definitely monsters under the bed time.

Hmm. The site just went dead. Perhaps they're no longer under the bed.
