COD was a very good book.

So was Stiffs (the curious lives of human cadavers)


I got
The Omnivores Dilemma
and
The Brothers Bulger
to read shortly.

Someone mentioned "Stiffs"... great, eye-opening book.

I also recommend "Shadow Divers". Some treasure divers find a sunken U-Boat right off the coast of JERSEY. How the hell did that get there? Read it to find out!

Reading now:

Adrift: Seventy-six Days Lost at Sea, by Steven Callahan
a riveting firsthand account by the only man known to have survived more than a month alone at sea, fighting for his life in an inflatable raft after his small sloop capsized.


It is amazing how he survived. It came out a number of years ago (02? I think) but I am just getting to it now.

I'm going to re-read the Harry Potter series and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. No need to pretend I'm cool.

I also have alot of books on fish, fishing, survival, exploration, etc. that I will most likely get to. I could blow through probably a dozen books per month if I could find room in my bags to bring them to work with me.

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.

Hmmmm.....

I just had a conversation with my 6yo about always having to read/study even when you are as old as daddy. Think she is letting that sink in the past couple of days.

Multicasting Networks
Understanding Market Data (pips, qsips, qform)

Fly Fishing the Surf
And if I can find a copy of "Fishing with the Bucktail" by Cpt. DeMaio (anyone got one I can borrow?

That should cover the first three months.

Set up Ebay to alert you when a copy becomes available. I see them every now and again. That is how I got mine. (my bookcase is right near my office)
