Books I picked up over vacation

1 January 2008

Filed under Books

While in DC and visiting so many museums, my imagination and curiosity was piqued on a number of occasions. Living in my programmer / consultant / marketer’s brain for such long stretches of time really starts to divorce you from interesting reading material. Last year I made a special point to read a number of seminal science fiction books (Ender’s Game series, Snowcrash, Neuromancer, et cetera) and I hope to read a bunch more this year.

From DC I picked up a few, and you can probably guess where I got each. Here they are, click the photos of the covers for more information on each.

The Declaration of Independence: A Global History

Evolution: A Scientific American Reader

Hubble: The Mirror on the Universe

Universe. The Definitive Visual Guide

Those last two are more coffee table books, but interesting none-the-less!

Does anyone have any book recommendations for 2008?
