May have to go to Barnes and Noble and buy it there.

I like Dawkins. He wrote some really good books on evolution, but these days he just seems to focus entirely on arguing with religion. It's just kind of embarassing.

Right now I'm reading Cobweb by Neal Stephenson and Frederick George as well as Colour: Basic Design Series by Gavin Ambrose and Paul Harris. Just finished Format as well, good series of books.

Just finished 'Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?' by Phillip K. Dick, a fantastic read if you're into science fiction, or great literature.

Now I'm reading 'The Client' by John Grisham and occasionnally I dip into Ellen Lupton and J. Abbott Miller's 'Design Writing Research', which I would reccomend to anyone involved in the practices of advertising or graphic design.

That's the book that Blade Runner is based on isn't it? Quite fancy reading that one.

I just got thru this one....

The Empire of Mind: Digital Piracy and the Anti-Capitalist Movement (Digital Futures) (Digital Futures) by Michael Strangelove.

It's a decent read.

I realised I had an unread Kurt Vonnegut book on my shelf the other day and started reading that. Funny really because I thought that I had read it, but I hadn't.

Timequake - Kurt Vonnegut
