50 Books Every Geek Should Read

50 Books Every Geek Should Read

I highly recommend Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, finally funny sci-fi.

I plan on becoming a UI architect/designer so Steve Krug's Don't Make Me Think really made me think about how to approach design (pun intended:P).

Books that Apparently I should have Heard and Read Already

Two series of popular books that everyone and their moms are apparently reading and I somehow missed hearing about until recently.

The Millenium Trilogy: Starting reading The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, SO INTRIGUING. I am trying so very carefully not to accidentally read any spoilers.

The Hunger Games: Today the 3rd book Mockingjay came out and the blogs are abuzz as people go to midnight parties, etc.

World Humanitarian Day - Sharing my love for reading

The Room to Read foundation's motto is "World Changes Starts With Educated Children"

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

That was exactly the premise of Three Cups of Tea. Access to books makes a lot of difference. Increasing literacy is fundamental to helping young people in poverty-stricken areas.
