Duck! It’s the book baton! Thanks to Dave Child for whacking me in the head with it.
About thirty on any given shelf. But we have lots of shelves. As far as grand total goes… Hard to say since I haven’t purchased Delicious Library yet, and haven’t put them all in one place. I’m going to just guess 450 or so. We’ve had to cut back occasionally over the years with moving around, and we make fair use of the local library.
Homebrewing, Vol. 1 by Al Korzonas
Har har. Anybody getting this baton is not likely to be reading a book. They’re reading a few.
Hm… when you’re reading five books, it’s hard to remember which ones you most recently finished. Then again, the question is, last 5 books read. Ah well, I’ll take a somewhat random sampling.
My absolute favorite book is The Brothers Karamazov, by Fyodor Dostoevsky. It’s brilliant, rich and creepy. Kind of like me, except for the rich part.
Another is Thirsting for God in a Land of Shallow Wells, by Matthew Gallatin. Yeah the title is sappy, but it’s a good book.
Others: Imagine – Steven Turner; A Severe Mercy – Sheldon Vanauken; A Prayer for Owen Meany – John Irving; John – John (you know, from the Bible)

Wait till you see it in action. It’s such a classy program. The guys who built that app totally know what they’re doing. And their office? Well they work entirely out of a cafe in seattle. Wired article

You’re right Vance! Don’t documentaries count as books?

CRAP! I was reading this thinking, “Man, I can’t remember the last non-audio (cough YOU CHEATED!) book I’ve read through. Oh wait. I just did. Woo hoo.
