This list details the current books I'm reading, what I've just finished, and links to certain books I mentioned in the books portion of my blog. I'm usually reading multiple books at the same time (one at home, one I'm carrying with me, an audio book in the car, etc..)

The Bridge Iain Banks

Around the World in 80 Days Michael Palin

Alan Turing Biography

Global Brain
Howard Bloom


Market Forces
Richard K. Morgan
(April 7, 2005)

Coming Soon!
John Barth
( What a slog! I really liked most of John Barth's stuff. But here, he went overborad with the whole pomo thing (perhaps on purpose) and just really dragged the conceit in the novel into the dirt.)
(March 10, 2005)

Mind Hacks
Tom Stafford & Matt Webb
(March 10, 2005)

Krakatoa
Simon Winchester
(Unabridged Audio)
( Great book, especially if you like the random bits of seemingly unlrelated history that Sim Winchester throws into his works.)
(March 8, 2005)

Iron Council
China Miéville
( I think Mr. Miéville is getting kind of lame. His previous two books were pretty good, but this one got pretty tiring. He needs to get away from New Crobuzon.)
(March 11, 2005)

The Time Ships
Stephen Baxter
(Turned out to be *MUCH* better than expected.)
(March 15, 2005)

How to Dunk A Doughnut
Len Fisher
(*GREAT* book about simple, applied science.)
(February 4, 2005)

The Pixel Eye
Paul Levinson
(Pretty good if you're into old-style detective novels - only with cell phones and rats with bombs in their heads)
(February 4, 2005)

Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell: A Novel
Susanna Clarke
(Unabridged Audio)
(Brilliant first novel - very entertaining with a well-thought out and engaging alternate history of the world.)
(February 2, 2005)

So Yesterday
Scott Westerfield
(Not bad, interesting ideas, book written for younger audience.)
(January 31, 2005)

The System of the World
Neal Stephenson
(How this guy does all this research and somehow generates a book
out of it I'll never know.)
(January 30, 2005)

Ender's Game
Orson Scott Card
(Unabridged Audio)
(One of the best books - ever.)

Darwin's Children
Greg Bear
(Unabridged Audio)
(Sequel to Darwin's Radio)
(This book sucked.)
(Nov 5, 2004)

Zeitgeist
Bruce Sterling
(This had best be a better book than Zenith Angle..)
(It was. Much better.)
(Oct 21, 2004)

The Scar
China Miéville
(Oct 17, 2004)

America (The Book): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction

Getting Things Done

Broken Angels

(Sequel to Altered Carbon)

Perdido Street Station
China Miéville

Angels and Demons
Dan Brown
(Unabridged Audio)
(It Sucked)
(Prequel to The DaVinci Code (which sucked as well))
(Ok, maybe it isn't a prequel. Anyhow, it had the same main character and it still sucked.)
