Book list, 1st half of 2008

I'm trying to read, or at least listen to audiobooks, more. In the last 10 years I'm guessing there have been 3 or 4 entire years where I didn't read a book at all. That's obscene.

Anyway, between using audiobooks on my commute and while working around the house, and using the Sony reader, it's picking up quite a bit. I admit that when going to bed I'm still almost as likely to pick up a Schlock Mercenary volume that I've read 10 times already, but only when I just need to settle for 10 minutes before trying to sleep (if I pick up a book I'm actually reading, 90 minutes later I'll still be reading). And the ebook is helping me greatly increase my reading speed over paper.

This is what I've covered Jan 1 through June 30.

Audiobooks - I pretty much got on a roll with Discworld, and since I was enjoying myself and had the L-Space discworld reading order guide, I just kept going. I'm almost done.

Blocked again.

The damn blocking software here at work is blocking LJ again. The net effect is that none of the javascript stuff (previewing, flist filter selection, etc) works, since I have to go through a PHP proxy. Just irritating. It was unblocked for several weeks and I had just about forgotten what a PITA it is when it's blocked.
