Kite Runner's all right. Thought the main character whined too much. I liked a widow for one year better by irving, siddhartha was great, but again, I thought the kid in "catcher" was annoying. Life of Pi, that was pretty damned good though. Forgot who wrote it, some canuck, I think. You know what was an exceptional book and I am disappointed I waited so long to read it? Tale of Two Cities. It's a little hard to get through some of it, but damn, it was worth it.

The big switch - very cool read, and I would very, very much recommend it for technology workers as a something to ponder when thinking about your future career.

The website is OK, but the mag is worth reading for sure. About Tech, but not just servers and windows stuff. Always some good reading.
