Bookshelf

As you can see, I enjoy reading :) Take a look at what I'm reading and what's on my bookshelf (a moderately complete list). It's just a boring list right now, but one of these days it will be shiny looking with book covers, amazon integration, and perhaps my thoughts on each book when I find time for it.
