Whenever you're called on to make up your mind, and you're hampered by not having any. The best way to solve the dilemma, you'll find, is simply by spinning a penny. No - not so that chance shall decide the affair, while you're passively standing there moping; but the moment the penny is up in the air, you suddenly know what you're hoping.Piet Hein, poet and scientist (1905-1996)daily flickr

Book 29: Building Web Applications with Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007
Read this one for work (what a surprise!). I have always found SharePoint troublesome – it doesn’t ever seem to work intuitively (especially when you start designing workflows and pages), and a kind work acquaintance let me borrow this book. … Continue reading
Book 28: Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely
“Predictably Irrational” was incredibly interesting and easy to read. One of my favorite anecdotes discussed how if you have two choices that are similar in value (say, a Victorian style house vs a contemporary style house), the very existence of … Continue reading
Book 27: Killing Yourself To Live by Chuck Klosterman
The only interesting thing I learned in these 235 pages is that Nico (from that marvelous Velvet Underground & Nico album) died at the age of 49 from a biking accident in Spain. Was it worth it? Probably. 3/5 235 … Continue reading
Book 26: Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer
Woohooooo! I’m done! I’m never reading another Twilight book again! Seriously, though, this one had some good spots, but overall it was pretty horrendous. 768 pages 1.5/5
Book 25: Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer
Yeah, whatever. I guess I’m in this for the long haul now. (Although I thought it was certainly more effort to get through than the last one.) I guess if I’m going to be all twilight-twinkie about this I am … Continue reading
Book 24: New Moon by Stephenie Meyer
Read it quickly. Not as bad as the first one. Emily made me promise to be honest, so I have to tell you that there was a little piece of me that enjoyed this one. It helped that she also … Continue reading
Book 24: Ford County: Stories by John Grisham
Yeah, I’m reading Book 24 on Week 26, but there’s a long weekend coming up and I’m pretty sure I’ll catch back up then. Anyway. I brought this book home with me after my last trip to MT; my Mom … Continue reading
Book 23: American Gods by Neil Gaiman
I finished this book moments ago, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I picked up “American Gods” because it was the first “one book one twitter” selection. I enjoyed the modern mythology of how the gods of america were brought here by … Continue reading
Book 22: At Home On The Street
This book, “At Home On The Street” and accompanying film “American Refugees” are an exquisite study of homelessness in Birmingham. Rather than citing facts and figures from other studies, the authors (Jason Wasserman & Jeffrey Clair) spent an enormous amount … Continue reading
Book 21: Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder
Picked up this book because I saw it on a reading list, and I had to take out two separate extensions from the library on it. Not for lack of inspiration – indeed, Paul Farmer M.D. is the man I … Continue reading
