Earlier this year, I had the good fortune to discover Jim Butcher's "Dresden Files". I had seen the television series on Sci-Fi some time ago and I was interested to check out the books. In short, I started out with "Storm Front" on my Sony Reader and proceeded to read the rest of the books in a span of about three months on the Kindle. It's a fun series and one that I highly recommend.]]> http://www.aetherial.net/weblog/2009/07/its-like-harry-potter-meets-philip-marlowe/feed/ 0 http://www.aetherial.net/weblog/2009/06/kindle-books/ http://www.aetherial.net/weblog/2009/06/kindle-books/#comments Wed, 03 Jun 2009 18:13:37 +0000 Chris http://www.aetherial.net/weblog/?p=123 The Business of Software: What Every Manager, Programmer, and Entrepreneur Must Know to Thrive and Survive in Good Times and Bad (Michael Cusumano) Death Masks (The Dresden Files, Book 5) (Jim Butcher) Eric Sink on the Business of Software (Eric Sink) Escape from Cubicle Nation: From Corporate Prisoner to Thriving Entrepreneur (Pamela Slim) Fool Moon (The Dresden Files, Book 2) (Jim Butcher) Grave Peril (The Dresden Files, Book 3) (Jim Butcher) iPhone SDK Development (Adamson & Dudney) Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions (Dan Ariely) Small Giants: Companies That Choose to Be Great Instead of Big (Bo Burlingham) Summer Knight (The Dresden Files, Book 4) (Jim Butcher) Why We Suck: A Feel Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid (Denis Leary) If we use March 1 as the Kindle start date, roughly fourteen weeks have elapsed since I acquired it. In that time, I've read eleven books, averaging 78% of a book read per week. And this doesn't count the books that I've been reading in print or via Audible. If we factored those in, I'm probably averaging over a book a week in total. Wow.]]> http://www.aetherial.net/weblog/2009/06/kindle-books/feed/ 0
