In case anyone is subscribed here I’ve switched to doing my blogging at my Tumblr site tharkad on Games where I’m taking about, well, gaming. I’ll keep this site going for my reading list.

• Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
  (tags: reading)
• User Stories Applied: For Agile Software Development
  This was OK. I've read a lot of the content elsewhere but if this is your first material about user stories it's good.

  Picked it up for the Power Girl story but the whole thing was good.

• Spin (again)
  Reread so I can read the sequels. Really fantastic sci-fi. Great concepts, I cared about the characters. Look forward to what's next.

• The City & The City
  Wow quite a concept and almost incredible that he pulled it out. The central conceit only Mieville could have thought up. Will make for a fun book group.

• Carrion Comfort
  Up there with the best horror novels I've read. Haunting and fascinating.

• Orbiting the Giant Hairball: A Corporate Fool's Guide to Surviving with Grace
  Fun story but strains belief that the author actually managed to keep working for a large company for 30 years.

• Managing Humans: Biting and Humorous Tales of a Software Engineering Manager
  Good book. I am in agreement with a lot of his ideas and it's nice to get some outside confirmation.

• Parable of the Sower
  I totally understand why this won the Nebula and I think it is deserving – but it is one of the most depressing books I have read. Just relentless. I could not possibly read the sequel.

• The Cognitive Style of PowerPoint: Pitching Out Corrupts Within
  Really fun short read about the evil of PowerPoint. I will say that it is mission accomplished for the author since most of these ideas have already permeated the culture – although the advice is surely not followed as much as he would like.

• Altered Carbon: A Takeshi Kovacs Novel (again)
  Another suggestion of mine for the book club and I hope everyone enjoyed it. A very fun scifi noir and some great characters and situations.
