Dave just wants to...
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.
