I just read the Kindle Short eBook “Lying” by Sam Harris last night, and found it to be a thought-provoking little work. Nothing groundbreaking, but putting it all together made for an interesting extended essay.
I’ve also been reading Stephen Levy’s “In the Plex” which provides a fascinating look behind the closed doors at the Googleplex. It’s a surprisingly long book, though, so that’s why I still don’t have it finished!
I do enjoy reading, but find that I learn a lot more from full books and long-form reading than I do from random short online articles. That’s why I’m trying to shift more of my personal reading time back to real books … except by default, they’re usually Kindle books on my computer or iPad!
I’ve pretty much completely switched to Kindle now. I’ve been reading everything from Photography How-to books to a current obsession with Japanese authors.
I’m reading The Night Circus on my Kindle. It’s pretty good so far. I don’t really have much time to read with other obligations going on but I do enjoy the time I get to read.
Was reading APJ Abdul Kalam’s Wings Of Fire very motivate book.
Getting Good with JavaScript by Andrew Burgess – paper & ebook
Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K Jerome. I know I have grown too old to read this. Just revisiting the childhood days.
I don’t read much.
Mind blowing comment…
Currently reading “The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes” by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Using the Google Books app on my HTC Nexus One.
I’ve been reading the entire series since it’s all free on Google Books!
Of all things, I originally read a .txt copy of that from Project Gutenberg on my old HTC Excabular WM 6 phone. Yes, I read whole books on that tiny screen. Makes me all the more grateful for the beautiful Kindle interface on my iPad
I’m reading Rescuing The Future, an engaging sci-fi novel by Vincent Miskell, on my iPhone using the Kindle reader. I just finished reading Memory by Lois McMaster Bujold in paperback.
I find that I move through phases, one of which is a reading and exploration phase, during which time I’m reading daily (mostly sci-fi). Out of this phase, I’ll switch to technical reading, if I do any reading at all.
surrently I am reading, ‘The richest Man in Babylon’ By George Clason
I use a Nook and am in the middle of “Ghost in the Wires: My Adventures as the World’s Most Wanted Hacker”
William Shakespeare: Hamlet
Outliers – Good ole paperback version by Malcolm Gladwell
I read the second tome from the Game of Thrones series, concurrently to “Actionscript developer’s guide to Robotlegs”.
First as an ebook on my transformer, second as a dead tree format.
“It’s not how good you are, it’s how good you want to be”
I hate reading books…
I am currently reading smashing e-books.
I’m current reading the Wheel of time series. Just started the 10th book Crossroads of Twilight. Awesome series.
Atlas Shrugged.
Porn of code, all geeks read it!
Currently reading
fiction: “Changes” by Jim Butcher
non-fiction: jQuery from Novice to Ninja
Currently reading Game of Thrones in the Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin. Love it!
I’m reading Game of Thrones on my iPad/iPhone and I’m loving it too. I also just finished watching the first season of the TV show, which is also brilliant, and quite faithful to the book.
Paper book – Losing my virginity by Richard Branson. Great one!
@Vladislav, that’s an awesome book!
I am behind the times and don’t own a kindle…..
I’m a nostalgic book readers. I like the feeling of sitting down with a nice book, flipping the pages and smelling the book smell. The last book I read was Einstein’s Dreams, one of my favourites.
‘Northanger Abbey’ (Austen) on my Kindle, having just finished PG Wodehouse’s ‘Damsel in Distress’.
On paper I’m reading (or re-reading) the autobiography of my one-time neighbour, Barry Took.
Death in Dublin – in hardcover!
The Art of War after reading it 6 years ago. Playbook (Kobo books)
“Women” By Charles Bukowski
Bukowski is one of my favs!
Outliers on my Kindle. Been reading so much after I bought the kindle
