Book List
Two atypical reads this time, plus a science fiction novel:

It's a quite dry survey of economics, written at a layman's level and told from a distinctly conservative slant. I finally started making headway in it ( Read more... ) -

Geeky World Tour - Edinburgh
In Which I Fly, and the Wind Follows MeI arrived at the Prague airport too early -- turns out that they don't open their checkin counters until an hour or so before the flight.

Geeky World Tour - Dresden
In Which I See A City No Longer In RuinsI always like to take a daytrip at some point in a vacation.

Geeky World Tour - Prague
In Which I Stand Atop a Windswept Rampart And Survey My KingdomAfter a tasty continental breakfast, we went to the front desk and asked if perchance they had our luggage. They did. And there was much rejoicing, and changing into clean clothes ( Read more... )
