Ready Player One 
by Ernest Cline (2011)
read: 26 August 2011
rating: [+]
categories: scifi & fantasy, ya
Just a fun book to read. It’s a fast paced, geek friendly story centered around online gaming and online community. Oh, and it totally shatters the existing world record for number of 80s pop culture references in a book.
At Home: A Short History of Private Life
by Bill Bryson (2011)
read: 7 August 2011
rating: [+]
category: non-fiction
Classic Bill Bryson. He examines each room in his 150 year old house, and uses the content or purpose of the room as a take-off point for an trip through history, exploring he we got to a point where the average middle class house (in the US anyway) seems to have one bathroom per resident. It’ll make you real glad you didn’t grow up 150 years ago.
