I will soon be reading books on the 70-290 as my 70-270 ones are of little use any more seeing as I passed it! HURRAH!

 

I have put this on my ‘to read’ list - sounds like a very good book. I have read numerous titles on religion and spirituality from a number of faiths such as Christian, Muslim, and Freemasonry and found them all well worth reading.

Impressive reading list ! I certainly got through some hefty titles during my degree studies also. As a programmer I recall as outstanding author Charles Petzold and his ‘Programming Windows’ book. Also Richard Feynman for Physics, both serious exposition (Feynman Lectures on Physics), and numerous more light-hearted books.

Sounds like an interesting novel and an interesting concept - sometimes we don’t appreciate something until its gone – then its too late.

 

I got 2 new books for xmas, one is Lankhmar and the other I can't remember. I was told Lankhmar was a one off read and so I decided to bring it into work for when I finish my current read "The mad ship" (2/3 of the Liveship Traders). Turns out it's 1 of 7 in the series... so.. I'm not sure I should start reading one of a set as a break from another set

 

Even though it is not out until April 2009, I have my pre-order of this book in already.

 

Today I picked up a copy of "Eats, Shoots and Leaves" by Lynne Truss. This was top of the sales charts for some time, and seeing it in a second-hand shop persuaded me to get it.

I didn't expect it to be so funny as well as serious!

He hee - just reading that one now. This is because Arroryn had recommended it a while ago and it went down on my Waterstones wish list - family member gave it to me for Christmas.

Is it just me, or do you find that you are constantly scanning the book itself for mistakes though?

The same family member also got me:

"The Emperor's New Mind" by Roger Penrose and, "Concise Oxford English Dictionary" 2008 Edition.
