Augsburger Posted October 27, 2011 Report Posted October 27, 2011 I bought Steve Jobs for nook. But need to finish a Heinlen book first. Reading a Jobs book on a Nook, is like drinking Allagash in a bud glass, right? Quote
blessingx Posted October 27, 2011 Report Posted October 27, 2011 In case others need an incentive... Walter Isaacson's 656-page profile of Steve Jobs "is quite possibly the truest biography I've ever read." http://ow.ly/1zih61 Quote
HeadphoneAddict Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 Reading a Jobs book on a Nook, is like drinking Allagash in a bud glass, right? Well, nook for iPad. I sold the nook, but have 100 eBooks for nook so i'm sticking with that format for now. Quote
robm321 Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) Now reading Will most likely read Steve Jobs next. And in honor of Job's rebellious spirit, I will go against the norm and buy a physical version of the book. Edited October 29, 2011 by robm321 Quote
RudeWolf Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 Currently avoiding. But my essay is more than a week overdue. And more than five years I've been avoiding dear Edmund by reading only secondary literature. But alas, he has finally caught me in Reykjavik. The fun part tho will be doing a phenomenological analysis of various modes of music listening. Just five pages away... Quote
RudeWolf Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 IQ84 I've never done a serious test. Most of the time I score between 100-115, depending on how lazy I feel at that moment. But don't feel bad about your IQ, man- many people think that if you don't score high then you're condemned for life. IQ can and will change throughout your life, you weren't born with that number, therefore if you want it higher then just work on it. And don't forget that there's also the EQ- emotional intelligence was recently all the rage among the staff departments. Quote
VPI Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 I am pretty sure he is referring to the book as this is the What are you Reading thread. Quote
CD44hi Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 http://www.amazon.com/1Q84-Haruki-Murakami/dp/0307593312/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1319896895&sr=8-1 Indeed! Otherwise it would have been IQ 68... Quote
RudeWolf Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 D'oh. Less reading, more socializing for me, it seems. Quote
blessingx Posted November 1, 2011 Report Posted November 1, 2011 For those reading the Jobs bio, heads up there are several photos after the lengthy end index. I almost missed them. Quote
balderon Posted November 1, 2011 Report Posted November 1, 2011 Dry and boring is never any fun but at least I am compensated for my time! For those who like to poke fun, note the last word in the title is not spelled scum. Quote
blessingx Posted November 15, 2011 Report Posted November 15, 2011 When did Frank Miller get so bitter? A response. Quote
cobra_kai Posted November 15, 2011 Report Posted November 15, 2011 A response. That was a good read thanks for the link Quote
crappyjones123 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Posted November 23, 2011 Michael crichtons Micro. He passed away a few years ago and I felt as though I lost a dear friend. Read all his stuff as a teenager and kept up with everything he released along the years. I dearly miss his way of writing. Hopefully they can find way to complete a few other manuscripts e left behind incomplete. Rip old friend Quote
pigmode Posted November 27, 2011 Report Posted November 27, 2011 I'm having a *hard* time getting through a second reading of Robert Fitzgerald's Odyessy. Despite it seeming to have a higher reputation in academia, There are many instances where I wish it was Allen Mandlebaum's version I was reading. Quote

I'm listening to the new Stephen King novel. Got Orson Scott Card's "Speaker For The Dead" from Audible. I figure I'll go back through the Ender series and catch the ones I missed earlier. Digging the King book after about 5 hours in. **BRENT** Quote

HeadphoneAddict Posted November 29, 2011 Report Posted November 29, 2011 I remember that happened right about the time the nook came out, and Pirate Latitudes was released. Quote
MoonShine Posted April 19, 2012 Report Posted April 19, 2012 never a bad choice, that. I recently read John C Wright's Golden Age series. amazing hard science fiction. i read up until the last 50 pages (it's a rather long trilogy) on my iPad in 4 days, but couldn't bring myself to finish it until last night, in the ER (on my iPhone). Yup, I enjoyed it. I just finished the 2nd Culture Book: Player of Games and I enjoyed that one even more. The Golden Age looks interesting, added to my list, thanks! Quote
Nebby Posted April 19, 2012 Report Posted April 19, 2012 Recently started Book 1 of the Culture Series myself, it's a good read so far Quote
shellylh Posted May 6, 2012 Report Posted May 6, 2012 Finally read the Hunger Games. Certainly an easy book to get immersed in. Guess it's time to see the movie. Quote
