A story about "Neuromancer" — 7 years ago
This was my first cyberpunk book (of many). It was a gift from a friend for my (summer) birthday after eighth grade; I was disappointed I didn’t get Magic: the Gathering cards. Little did I know!

A story about "The Difference Engine (Spectra Special Editions)" — 7 years ago
Took me a few tries to get into it, but once I got the inertia to finish it, I found it’s a pretty good story.
A story about "The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering, 20th Anniversary Edition" — 7 years ago
If you’ve had some software engineering classes and read some web sites, you’ve probably heard all this, if only because everyone else has so it’s all kind of a given. Good to have it laid out like that for you, though.
A story about "The Virtual Community: Homesteading on the Electronic Frontier, revised edition" — 7 years ago
I read the unrevised version. Good, especially the parts about Lucasfilm’s Habitat.
A story about "Underground Guide to UNIX: Slightly Askew Advice from a UNIX Guru" — 7 years ago
A funny intro; valuable. Read this, then move up to something like UNIX Shell Programming.
A story about "UNIX Shell Programming, Revised Edition" — 7 years ago
Great introduction and reference to those little programs that make UNIX.
A story about "Might As Well Be Dead" — 7 years ago
(Not really the books-on-tape version.) Entertaining.
A story about "Triple Jeopardy (Rex Stout Library)" — 7 years ago
A yellowed, rebound, dirty copy from an honest-to-God library. Three pretty good stories. The second story was on TV just the other day, so I already knew whodunit.
A story about "The Transparent Society: Will Technology Force Us to Choose Between Privacy and Freedom?" — 7 years ago
Finally finished! Kind of long, and it doesn’t build up to the end, so it took some work.
The ideas are quite interesting, though.
