	The Silver Chair (100) By C.S. Lewis Reading since Nov 7, 2009 Add... My Shelf Wish List
	Spook Country (22) By William Gibson Finished on Nov 6, 2009 Add... My Shelf Wish List
A good read, Gibson has its own style, cryptic at times, condensed in others and more expansive in others still. The story is gripping enough however I found the end a bit anticlimactic. It was my first time reading Gibson, and I expected more.. Is this helpful? ― Posted on Nov 7, 2009 \| Add your feedback

	World Without End (2) By Ken Follett Finished on Sep 30, 2009 Add... My Shelf Wish List
a fitting sequel to Pillars of the Earth. It's also long and it could have lost a couple of hundred pages without loss. Some things are often repeated, maybe for the benefit of readers that enjoy the book a little at a time. However that is difficult to do as it is a real page-turner. Having read th ... (continue) a fitting sequel to Pillars of the Earth. It's also long and it could have lost a couple of hundred pages without loss. Some things are often repeated, maybe for the benefit of readers that enjoy the book a little at a time. However that is difficult to do as it is a real page-turner. Having read the previous book is definitely not necessary as the events take place a few centuries later and there is really no connection except a couple of names.

	Here Comes Everybody (6) The Power of Organizing Without Organizations By Clay Shirky Finished on Aug 18, 2009 Add... My Shelf Wish List
An interesting overview of how the online world has been changed by social tools like wikipedia. It offers also many examples of how those tools interact with the "real world", dispelling -if it were necessary- the media-induced idea that "cyberspace" and everyday life don't mix. It is a good r ... (continue) An interesting overview of how the online world has been changed by social tools like wikipedia. It offers also many examples of how those tools interact with the "real world", dispelling -if it were necessary- the media-induced idea that "cyberspace" and everyday life don't mix. It is a good read for those that want to discover the realities of social tools and social software and also interesting for those that are already familiar with these things as it offers a way of thinking about those from different perspectives.

(continue) A story of PARC, the famed Xerox Palo Alto Research Center , that follows both the business and the "people" aspect of the founding and evolution of the institution. It is written as a story of the people there but the compelling, informed and witty writing bring weave what amount to a page-turner about real life events. It is not a business manual, nor a software or hardware textbook, yet it has aspects of all of these subject and provides a fascinating insight into the recent history of computing.

1 person find this helpful A good experience, a fine tale and a real page-turner.

To tell the truth I listened to the free podcast available at www.scottsigler.com, and I listened to the last chapter while also reading the last few pages on the book. But I have decided this counts as "reading". I highly reccomend Sigler's books to anyone who like Michale Chricton, Tom Clanc ...
