My insights and comments on technical issues and anything else I feel like saying.

Book Recommendations

This page lists books that I would recommend to people. I will split it up into different sections in order to distinguish between tech books and leisure books.

Technology Books:

iCon: I found this to be a great book. The book was entertaining to read because there was so much that I had never known about Steve Jobs. I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in technology and biographies.
The Future of Ideas: Lawrence Lessig talks about how he doesn’t agree with how the use of ideas is so restricted. He thinks that ideas should be free for everyone to use.

Leisure Books:

The Innocent Man:
Runaway Jury:
The Chronicles of Narnia: This set of books makes for fast leisure reading. I enjoyed the series and figured I should read them before the movie comes out at the end of the year.
The Count of Monte Cristo: A very well known classic as well as one of my favorite books. If you like books about adventure and revenge and that take place in medieval times, I strongly recommend you read this book.

The Rainmaker:
