Books

Currently reading: Liar's Poker - Michael Lewis
Last 3 books finished:

Next on the shelf: Return of the Native - Thomas Hardy

My reading list.

Melanie and I both made a list of 100 books we would like to read. It should take her only a few years, but I suspect 10+ years for me (they'll have to compete with 100 CS books/journals, not to mention countless horror anthologies.)


I am grateful for both Joe & Cathy's recommendations, as well as The Professor's Guilt List. I concede that most of the authors are white and/or male; perhaps I'll be more exploratory with the next 100.
