Reads

This page will serve as a reading log, and may provide some additional reinforcement to keep up a good habit. I've found that reading books, and specifically paper books, is a great way to reduce my screen time and wind down for the day.

My queue seems to be growing rapidly...

In Progress

Against the Grain, by James C. Scott

~30% complete. This one is slow going; I feel like there are academic words I don't know on every page!

The Books of the South (second The Black Company collection), by Glen Cook

~20% complete and liking it so far, although it's a bit less engaging than the first trilogy.

Doppleganger, by Naomi Klein

~20% complete. Plan to finish.

Queue

Good Omens, by Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman

Came highly recommended by a friend that I trust. Both authors are hit or miss for me, but I'll give this one a chance.

The Diamond Age, by Neal Stephenson

I picked this up because I was having trouble getting into Cryptonomicon, and thought I might start with something a little more approachable by this author. (Yes, I've already read Snow Crash). Alas, here it waits.

Cryptonomicon, by Neal Stephenson

Maybe someday...

Complete

If a book is here, it means I either finished it or abandoned it.

Careless People, by Sarah Wynn-Williams

~100% complete. Engaging memoir, horrifying revelations.

Dark Wire, by Joseph Cox (404 Media)

DNF - an interesting story that is let down by the storytelling.

Jade City, by Fonda Lee

100% complete, great story, quick and easy read. Stumbled a bit about 2/3 through, but I liked it well enough that I will probably continue this series.

Catastrophe Ethics, by Travis Rieder

100% complete. I got a lot out of this and wrote about it here.

Your Money or your Life, by Vicki Robin

100% complete. Not much new information for me, but it was a quick and easy read. This would be a great book to give to someone who is just starting to plan their career or is just entering the workforce.

Steve Jobs, by Walter Isaacson

100% complete. I've read plenty of quotes from this book over the years and wanted to check it out. Good read, I especially enjoyed the details about the Apple origin story.
