Last night I finished
The Silicon Man by Charles Platt, yet another book I'd had sitting around for years. What if human consciousness were indeed transferable into a computer?

I picked up
The Push Man and other Stories by Yoshihiro Tatsumi months ago when I was visiting Portland. Since I needed to read a graphic novel or other graphica (a new term for me) for my class I picked it up. The most notable thing about it is how bleak all of the stories are. They're mostly all about unhappy people in unhappy relationships. That said, I like the drawing style.

Kenneth Davis's
Don't Know Much About Geography was a bit disappointing. It contained snippets about things rather than anything in-depth. It also was more about history than anything else. I don't actually remember there being any maps!

The impetus to pick up
Going Postal to read next came from watching
Nancy Pearl interview him in a
video that I watched to prepare for class tomorrow.

I've read several posts from people lately about the joys of finding random things in library or used books. I find it weirder when I find things in books I've owned for awhile, and bought new. I just opened Terry Pratchett's
Going Postal (the only Discworld book published to date that I haven't read yet) and out dropped a flying for geeksagainstbush.com . Odd.
