farewell february

It has been a slow month here at uym. I've been busy at both my jobs, which is good, but it has also provided enough distraction that I'm barely halfway through my current read, Rainbows End. Also not helping is my current addiction to collecting and watching old Dr. Who episodes on DVD. I've also been stocking up on books as well, visiting B&N and Gardner's Used Books frequently.
Here's some of the stuff I bought that I might be reading later on this year:
The Illuminatus! Trilogy by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson
Ender's Shadow and Shadow of the Hegemon by Orson Scott Card
Ruby and the Stone Age Diet by Martin Millar
M*A*S*H Goes to Maine by Richard Hooker
M*A*S*H Goes to Miami/ New Orleans/ Paris by Richard Hooker and William E. Butterworth
And Another Thing... Douglas Adams's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy part 6 of 3 by Eoin Colfer
This list will continue to grow, providing a small glimpse into the future...

don't have yet

This one's on the cyberpunk required reading list, but I haven't been able to find a copy at Gardners. The list is from the Cyberpunk Handbook by St. Jude, R.U. Sirius and Bart Nagel. Here it is:

Neuromancer by William Gibson (read it), Schismatrix by Bruce Sterling (have it), Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson (read it), True Names by Vernor Vinge (don't have it), Software and Wetware by Rudy Rucker (read them both), Eclipse Trilogy by John Shirley (have them) and Shockwave Rider by John Brunner (have it).
