2009 book wrap up

Every year I report on the books I've finished in the previous year.
You can see all of the books I've read since 1993 at

Here is 2009, in which I read 11 books. Lower than usual. I have been reading more periodicals and doing other, hopefully more productive things.


Little Brother by Cory Doctorow

Good book. Read it free on my phone.



The Gathering Storm*** by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson


Fantastic addition to a series I love.


Emergency: This Book Will Save Your Life*** by Neill Strauss

Awesome read. Love Neil Strauss.


The Ruins by Scott Smith

Couldn't put it down.


Tomorrow's Professor: Preparing for Careers in Science and Engineering by Richard M. Reis

A bit dated, but full of good ideas.


The Mechanical Mind in History , edited by Husbands, Holland, & Wheeler


Goldfinger by Ian Fleming


Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K. Hamilton



The Fourth Ambit by Dawson Nichols

Best book on meditation I've ever read.
