summer reading

Playing with the new phone. Connectivity is *so* much better.

Your dolly agrees.

That's Mister Monkey, faithful companion to my oldest lad.

suuuure it is.

*tries to read titles, fails, needs monkey*

It's the first pic I've taken with the new Nokia 6220 I got today - & the first one I sent to Moblog. Didn't even use the zoom. Quality isn't fantastic, but still better than the Viewty, even though they are both 5 mp cameras.

For those interested, the titles are:

Devil May Care
Bad Monkeys
The Confusion
The Lies of Locke Lamora
Jonathon Strange and Mr Norrell
A History of Modern Britain
World War Z
The Blade Itself
Kavalier & Clay
JPod
The Dice Man
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

I've spent most the summer coding Moblog, so some light reading has helped keep me sane :-)

Always mean to read JPod and never get round to it - is it good?

A bit disappointing really, not one of Copeland's best. Certainly not as good as Microserfs or Generation X.

That's a pity, I like Copeland's other stuff, particularly Gen X. Will maybe get round to reading it one of these days though......

I find Coupland's books a bit samey really but I do think Microserfs was quite good. such a romantic story

thx for the titles. just read the Dice Man, which made me laugh, slightly dated as it is. moving on to The lies..I have read most of them, but I needed a list and you, sorry, provided me with the summer read I needed. all I need now is a beach.

Glad to be of inspiration. Actually my sister works at Waterstones and just recommends stuff for me.

A beach is no problem to find... a sunny beach, this summer, that's a bit of a tall order.
