I’m David (light enough intro?). I’m primarily interested in the common reading aspects of this concept, as I tend to fall behind on wider geek culture pretty quickly and I like the idea of being in-step with *some* group.
I need to re-read Short History of Nearly Everything. I thoroughly enjoyed it the first time, and as a result I’ve read most of Bryson’s work. But I probably missed a bit reading it by candlelight during a 10-day power outage. In July.
Currently reading Little Women (because missing the classics when they’re age-appropriate is not, for me, a good excuse to never read them) and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (because I had no time to acquire sufficient interesting books before my last trip). The former is not so much my thing, but I see why it is popular with its target audience (or was – is this still read?). The latter has bored me to tears for over 100 pages, but I’m assured that it’s going to get good Any Time Now.
