I'm a Library Media Specialist and it is so hard to keep kids interested in "real" books. The ones that you curl up with. Thanks for realizing that even techies need to get into books once in a while (or more often). P.S. I'm taking Jennifer Cronk's Web 2.0 class. Go books!

I also have Confessions of an Economic Hit Man! Too many books, too little time! I'm glad to hear that you liked it, though. I'm always buying books I know nothing about and hoping for the best. Thanks for the recommendations! Dennis, I don't have kids and I can barely find time to read, I don't know how parents manage everything! This weekend I took a technology break and I have to say, it was wonderful. I finished a few books, started a few more and (gasp!) went outside! Sometimes it's good to step away from the machine, right? Mark,

Is there such a thing as "Reading Destiny"? I've got to get a hold of this book! Of course, with two little kids running around, I didn't have time to read even before I joined web 2.0. And I thought technology was supposed to provide us more free time... just got recommended Weather Makers by someone else two days ago and had never heard of it before that.

I love No Logo and Naomi Klein, and have been trying to get my wife to read it for years. I would like to suggest to you: Confessions of an Economic Hitman by John Perkins, it is a trip. To be honest i thought it could have been written better but its content will keep you reading. Thanks for the Library Thing, i am passing it on to my resident book-junkie (wife). If you need to give your head a little space after No Logo - i am really enjoying Teacher Man, he has some hilarious truths in there about yours and everyone's classes. i was feeling guilty that my previous post could have been read as anti-book, and you come through with this dynamo.
