The In-Stack

Currently Reading:

Google Hacks - A nifty little book full of tips on how to do all sorts of things with Google.  Some of it I knew, but there is a substantial amount of stuff that is completely new to me; it won’t take long for this to pay for itself just in time saved, and I haven’t even gotten to any of the programatic stuff yet.

Currently ReReading:

The Portable Coach - Thomas Leonard’s recent tragic demise prompted me to go back and re-read his keystone work. Even on re-reading, there are still some absolutely great techniques and pieces of wisdom here.

Recently Finished:

Kingdom of Fear (Hunter S. Thompson) - I was expecting another book of older memoirs, but KoF has a surprising amount of recent material in it, a lot of it post 9/11.  As usual, once you dismiss a little of the “over-the-top”, Hunter still has some of the keenest insight into US politics and foreign policy of anyone writing on the scene today.  His views are seldom the popular ones at the time, but over the long haul he’s right a lot more than he’s wrong.
