| Just finished reading (like just this week so I think it counts): "Hacker Cracker" - Pretty good book, although it didn't really have that much to do with his life as a hacker, more like hacker/martial artist/actor "Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell" - Meh. It was pretty good, although it didn't have a big twist or surprise at the end like I thought it would. |

BTW, I have three kids aged 5, almost 4, and 18 months. All were breast fed. You're making a good choice. I have a love/hate relationship with Joyce's work. The truth is, he's a better writer than I will ever be and so I both enjoy and envy him for it. Portrait is very good. I liked Ulysses better, probably because of the humor. I think you will enjoy the book. | |
