Speaking of books

[Catrin]

Thanks for the suggestions. I just ordered both--the former for me and the latter for DH for his birthday. I also ordered a relatively new book by Dave Eggers about Hurricane Katrina. Now, I have no business buying more books right now; I have an addiction.

At least books are less expensive than bikes or computers

But you forget that I also own six bikes--one of which cost more than the other five combined.

Hmmmm, we seem to have the same addictions I don't have 6 bikes, but I was a little shocked when I figured out about what I have invested in the 3 bikes plus all of my gear as I consider how much I need to raise my renters insurance...

reading (rather studying out of) two e-books. "Land of Lisp" and "Learn You A Haskell for Great Good".

Lisp and Haskell are programming languages.

Common Lisp wasn't created when I was using Lisp for work. The new updated Lisp is much nicer and I thought I would brush up on Lisp.

Haskell is an exacting language based on mathematical formalism thus you will not find side-effects (bugs) in your code.

yes my name is ***** and I'm a geek without any hope...

Oh I'm still reading "Wealth of Nations" by Adam Smith (original manuscript was back in 1776). A true classic.

I'm reading that right now, too!!!

According to my iPod (via "Free Books" app) I'm on page 500-something of 4,000-something.

And they don't spoil or go out of style!

Finding Jack by Gareth Crocker has become my new favorite.

One lazy Sunday morning in bed, I read it then handed it to my husband and he read it.

Beautiful.
