I have gone officially friends-only. If you want me to add you and I'm not responding to your adding me because I've not noticed the new friend on my Info page, then just drop me a comment here.

Tonight, I cooked...

...cabbage

I posted the first discussion link on Decipher Script here. Yay, go me!

We're also getting ready to pick for February, if anyone wants to get in on the geek book action for next month. The discussion topic is on the community.

And conference call over and flaming ducks exploding around my head, so I zoom. Zoom!

So now I can post the possibility of an unabashed-geek book club. :)

If you'd like to read a book a month or so and discuss with your fellow geeks, then come on over and join!

I came back to make this comment to dorsai but I wanted to make it more visible to anyone reading my last post--feel free to make your own list as well! We did debate the list that I posted among our group but I'm thinking from the responses that there may have been iconic books that we missed entirely. There have certainly been books on my list that ( Read more... )
