2011 Reading List

These are the books I read in 2011. Last Christmas I picked up the hardback copy of Bujold's Cyroburn, which came with a CD-ROM containing all of the Miles Vorkosigan stories, except Memory, in electronic form. This lead to my re-reading all of those stories. At the end of 2011 I re-read all of Asprin's Myth series.

I'm also in the middle of reading a number of books:
1 Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance Robert M. Pirsig 2 An Introduction to Information Theory John R. Pierce 3 The Consequences of Ideas R. C. Sproul 4 The Best of Gene Wolfe Gene Wolfe 5 Anathem Neal Stephenson 6 Why Men Hate Going To Church David Murrow 7 Mere Christianity C. S. Lewis
I really like Zen, but it's on hold until I finish a post on one of the topics therein. Maybe this weekend. I've started working on my book with the working title "From Electrons to Morality" so reading and blogging is going to be as time permits. It doesn't help that I've decided to re-watch all of Ron Moore's Battlestar Galactica. That's a wonderful time drain.
