Microserfs

by Douglas Coupland

I’m done with this one. It was quite good and the end was surprisingly moving, in a geeky sort of way.

Snow Crash (Bantam Spectra Book)

by Neal Stephenson

I was real happy reading this book. Loads of fun and with a CG character known as The Librarian, it’s hard to go wrong.

The Magus

by JOHN FOWLES

This book was astonishing. The end leaves you no more sure about what happened than the rest. You’ll have to decide whether that’s a good thing.

by David Sedaris

This was enjoyable, but not life-affecting.

Stranger in a Strange Land

by Robert A. Heinlein

I finished this one. A little more sexual than I would’ve predicted. Not bad, but not one of my favorites either.

What's Eating Gilbert Grape

by Peter Hedges

Sure watching the movie will kill this one for me. Great YA book.

Yup, it’s good. Not the best of the series, but a good, quick read.

This is real good. Inspired me to read The Code Book just to learn more about cryptography.
