Reading Contest - February Report
Books finished:
The Little Book by Seldon Edwards (2) - A time travel story in which the main character wakes up from an accident in 1896 Vienna. Loved it, though it took a while to warm up to the story. The end was a let down.
Still Me by Christopher Reeve (2) - Fascinating insights into the life of a person who suffered from a tremendous personal loss, but who managed to turn it into a social gain.
The Dead Girls Dance by Rachel Caine (2) - Book two in the Morganville Vampires series. A new favorite because it manages to bring something new to the vampire genre.
Twilight by Stephanie Meyers (2) - A dating fantasy for 14 year old girls. Not much value for anyone else.
The World is Flat by Thomas Friedman (3) - An expose on how the business world is changing, and has to change, because of the development and proliferation of information technology. It's an interesting argument, but is very clearly aimed at the type of old school CEO who still thinks that the Internet is a computer program.
Total points for the month: 11
Total points for the year: 25
Currently reading: Self Made Man by Norah Vincent, Amazonia by James Rollins, One Hundred Pages for the Future by Peccei, The Atrocity Archives by Charles Stross, and others.
