Potter Mania (0)
Jul.20.07
	I have a copy coming from Amazon. I reserved a copy from my local Borders. I've heard $20 million in security to prevent leaks. [I may already know what happens in spite of this.] I've seen it all over news...

Memoirs of an Italian Geek: Digital Edition (0)
Jul.19.05
	Looks like Amazon has started to offer my book in a digital format, in addition to the existing paperback and hardcover versions. I'm just so confused by this. Update: Amazon's error! They accidentally posted this to a whole bunch of...

Penultimate Potter: Book Six of Seven (2)
Jul.16.05
	Yes, that is a copy of the latest Potter book in my backpack. What's more is I bought it from a QFC at 12:01, as they had it on sale. And yes, there was a line there too: people waited...

Left Behind: Glorious Appearing (9)
Apr.04.04
	Been a long while since I've posted about a particular book, but this one seems worth posting about. I've been reading the Left Behind series for a long, long while. I discovered the book series some time in late 1999...

Like What You've Been Reading Here? (6)
Dec.21.03
	If you've like what you've read here - and you like to read books as well as blogs - I recommend that you check out my book. Wait, what book? It's been out for a little while and I've been...

Makofsky: Pocket PC Network Programming (1)
Sep.22.03
	I've been meaning to mention this addition to my bookshelf but I hadn't gotten around to posting it here - been spending more time working on SharpMT than I have adding new Rants I guess... I have been reading a...

Santi: Memoirs of an Italian Geek (0)
Aug.14.03
	A new Geek book has been released: Memoirs of an Italian Geek by R. L. Santi. I'm told it will show up on Amazon and Barnes and Noble but right now it's available here in paperback thanks to iUniverse. Call...

Update: Memoirs of an Italian Geek (1)
Jul.27.03
	Just a quick update. The review came back from the publisher and they suggested some updates and some changes. Consequently, there was another round of proofreading and editing done and the now final final final manuscript has been shuttled off...

Memoirs of an Italian Geek (0)
Jun.18.03
	The manuscript for this has been done for a while now, but as with programming, there's always more work to do once the work is done. What I mean is that when you code an application, that's only the beginning...

Geisha, a Life (0)
Mar.19.03
	It's sort of funny to me that I go through four or five books at a time before I realize that I haven't mentioned a new book on the site in a while. Same for the music section. What happens...

Coupland: All Families are Psychotic (0)
Feb.21.03
	I discovered Douglas Coupland through one of his books, and a Geek book at that. I don't remember if I found it on my own or if it was one of the books that someone told me about, like Sarem,...

Kick Me (0)
Dec.17.02
	So why read this book? Simply put, it's pretty freakin' funny. It's a collection of short "stories" from Feig's adolescence - I'm saying "stories" since some of the episodes last only a couple of pages, but it's definitely a collection...

A Clockwork Orange (1)
Oct.22.02
	"So, what's it going to be then, eh?" I figure about half of the movies made have a book that the movie is based upon. It's been said by some, that Hollywood tolerates authors because they are scared to death...

Sarum - The Novel of England (0)
Sep.09.02
	This was a novel that was suggested to me by a co-worker that knows I've read books from all over the spectrum of topics and countries... It's a national bestseller, but I can't tell you if that's from the US...

Eureka Street (0)
Jul.10.02
	Today's review is on Eureka Street, by Robert McLiam Wilson. This novel takes place during the "quiet" time of the mid 1990's, that followed the Troubles in Northern Ireland. It centers around two Irish lads, one Christian, the other Protestant,...

Skipping Christmas (0)
May.16.02
	If you have any amount of family or friends around where you live you can related to Skipping Christmas, a recent book put out by John Grisham. If you're Italian and still near your active Italian family around Christmastime, you...

Laura Joh Rowland (0)
Apr.11.02
	What am I reading today? Today we've got a murder mystery from Laura Joh Rowland. More than this one book, Rowland is responsible for writing the seven different books in this series of novels, starting with Shinju. The whole series...

The Career Programmer: Guerilla Tactics for an Imperfect World (0)
Apr.02.02
	Anyway, for my first "review" (if that's what you call these things) is just as suited for the GeekStuffs page as it is a book write up. It's for the programming industry, but it has made such an impact on...
