While I’m down for the count for a few days trying to recover from something affecting the upper third of my body, I’ve been enjoying some light reading. I often read fairly weighty tomes of a socio-political nature, but sometimes I like to dip into things that are lighter.
Here is my “therapeutic, get well soon” reading list for these recovery days:
- some pulp science fiction by Homer Eon Flint. From the 1920’s, it’s light, easy, and fun. Most are free at manybooks.net. Free, fun, soothing. Each one can be read in a few hours.
- “Ghost in the Wires: My Adventures as the World’s Most Wanted Hacker” which is about Kevin Mitnick. I enjoy stories from the 70’s and 80’s about the big-iron mainframes and phone phreaking.
- anything by Cory Doctorow.
I hoping to be well enough by tomorrow to sit up properly and maybe even drive a car!
