Currently I'm reading a lot of books simultaneously. Usually I don't do that, but it's working quite alright for me:
- Complete digital photography. I love to take pictures, and this book is helping me to improve their quality. I recommend it a lot.
- Cartas desde el infierno (letters from hell), by Ramón Sampedro. The sea inside, by Amenábar is a movie you definitely have to see. It's about the struggle of Ramón Sampedro, a tetraplegic, to end his life with diginity. His arguments are exposed in this book with amazing lucidness.
- Digital photography hacks. Looks like I'm really into photography lately. O'Reilly Hacks series are really cool compendiums of "messing-arounds"... to be handled with care. Well, I tried an XP hack from a pre-SP II edition, which resulted in total havoc (my computer would just not boot!) Now I can't help seeing my Mind Hacks book without a distrustful look.
- Internet Oracle "bestof" digest. Great for waisting your time: http://cgi.cs.indiana.edu/~oracle/bestofs.cgi
- L'étranger, by Camus. Great book for an intermediate-French student. Well, great book in any case. Reading it in French has forced me to read it slowly and carefully... I'm enjoying it a lot!
- Zen mind, beginners mind, by D T Suzuki. I'm trying to grasp a little of Zen. I guess I'll have this feeling I don't understand one thing until, suddenly... well, I don't know. In fact is a very interesting reading.
- War of the worlds. Sorry, but the movie is rubbish. From beginning to end. The book is fine, I expected a little more, though. Maybe is the fault of the guy in charge of the special effects.
