After finally getting my IKEA look-way-more-expensive-than-they-really-are bookcases put together (thanks, Paul and Keith), I took the occasion to go through all my books, including a box I hadn’t even unpacked when I last moved because there was no room. Now, there’s room. And a pleasant side effect of this process was I found quite a few interesting books that I had purchased along the way but never read:
The Difference Engine – William Gibson/Bruce Sterling
Gates of Eden – Ethan Coen
Pale Blue Dot – Carl Sagan
The Age of Missing Information – Bill McKibben
Silent Spring – Rachel Carson
Manufacturing Consent – Noam Chomsky
I probably have a whole summer’s worth of reading here. This is fun. (I also rediscovered my love of B. Kliban cartoons – the weird ones, not the cats – since I found a whole set of those softcover cartoon books of his.)
