I'll have to check into that. Looks like it could be helpful.

Has anybody read the "newer" Bond novels by Amis, Gardner, Deaver, et al? Any opinions?

It's written by a career counselor at Duke's business school. He uses the 80/20 rule to help maximize efficiency by eliminating wastes of time from a job search.

Technically a short story, but right now I'm reading At the Mountains of Madness by H.P. Lovecraft. Brilliantly suspenseful and asks difficult questions about what makes a monster.

I just finished Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood. It's the first of a trilogy set in a dystopian future. It came out in 2003 and, aside from being a brilliantly written, very entertaining story, it's scarily prescient. Atwood's a genius. I can't wait to read the rest of the trilogy.

The Handmaid's Tale is one of my favorite books.

Currently reading Game of Thrones; there's something great about having to look up a word now and then. Fantastic characters.

Thank You for Your Service by David Finkel. Emotionally exhausting but very worthwhile and well written. Provides a glimpse of the challenges some of our soldiers face upon returning home.

+1 on this. I'm on book 2 right now (A Clash Of Kings).

Currently reading Babbitt by Sinclair Lewis.

I'm in a newly-formed monthly book club. We read Pastoralia by George Saunders, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers, and Still Life with Woodpecker by Tom Robbins.

I probably like Babbitt the most (so far) followed by a very strong debut novel from McCullers.

What Einstein Told His Cook 2: The Sequel: Further Adventures in Kitchen Science - a Valentine's Day gift from my girlfriend. I loved the first book and this one's at par.

The Argumentative Indian: Writings on Indian History, Culture and Identity - I picked up this on my last visit home. A tour-de-force of Indian's political and intellectual heritage.

Get Shorty - Elmore Leonard. Great movie. Even better book. Didn't start reading Elmore Leonard until about a year ago. I missed out for a long time. It's just good, easy, entertaining reading.
