14 July Books

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009 - 02:05 pm

My passion for programming outside of work is on an extended hiatus.  I don’t have any good reason to continue working on current projects, so I’ve been using my time for other things.  I’ve been enjoying my journey in the world of books, a passion I once had long ago (~10 years since my high school days, wow…).

So far, I’ve read the following:

  • Fahrenheit 451
  • The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
    • The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
    • Life, the Universe and Everything
    • So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish
  • Neuromancer
  • Count Zero

I tried to read Ender’s Game, but I was so wrapped up in Neuromancer at the time that I had to just return it.  I’ll probably give it another shot soon, though.  Right now, my list of books to read includes:

  • 1984
  • Slaughterhouse-Five
  • The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul
  • Mona Lisa Overdrive
  • Foundation Series
  • Dune
  • Brave New World

That’s quite a list, really, especially since the Foundation Series is something like 14 volumes.
