Took advantage of the public holiday to read "Driven to Distraction", a book on ADD/ADHD. Practical, easy to read and illuminating.
(alert readers may have noticed that I said I was starting Exhalation. This is true! However, the whole point of the easy/heavy/holy/culture/self-improvement/programming system is that i can fit my mood to my book diet without being paralysed by the indecision of a book wall.)
Exhalation, Ted Chiang. SF short stories, expectedly great. Maybe nothing with the raw punch of "Understand" but it seems churlish to complain about mere excellence. My picks: "Exhalation", "The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate" & "The Lifecycle of Software Objects".
"One Up on Wall Street". Don't know how valid a book on stock trading from 1989 is, but interesting and well-written nonetheless. The recommendation to invest in small well-run firms you know personally is a little awkward when software IPOs happen at a billion USD though.
Certainly interesting that he'd tagged Apple as a good long term stock in 1989 and had a million shares when it was a buck thirty.
"A Walking Tour Of The Shambles", @neilhimself and Gene Wolfe. A delightful little iceberg of a book. Lonely Planet meets Jack the Ripper at the Mountains of Madness, perhaps? Hundreds of wry, understated jokes - I should probably read some Gene Wolfe.
"The Dreaming, Vol 2: Empty Shells" Enjoying seeing other writers play in Gaiman's world more than I really expected to. More questions raised than answers given, but I suppose that's to be expected this early in the arc. Beautiful art as always.
