It looks like I havent updated my reading status in
a while:

http://mv.asterisco.pt/2008/Jan/cat.cgi?Xmas%20Queue

I have finished up all three (God Delusion, Zen Guitar
and 10 Rules). Meanwhile I have been buying some single
items whenever I find them, since I always have to have
something to read and the next big queue update (from
Amazon) is coming up on only on my birthday (in a few
weeks).

Stuff that is/was on the queue:

The Goal
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Goal-Process-Ongoing-Improvement/dp/0566086654/
( read it; brilliant!; see http://mv.asterisco.pt/2007/Sep/cat.cgi?ToC%20and%20CCPM )

Civilization
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Civilization-New-History-Western-World/dp/0099526069/
( read it; brilliant!; obligatory for anyone wanting to discuss politics)

Open Business Models
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Open-Business-Models-Henry-Chesbrough/dp/1422104273/
( yes http://mv.asterisco.pt/2008/Jan/cat.cgi?Brussels%20Fault%20This%20Time
I am still reading it; its so boring that I want to be a lion tamer…)

Steppenwolf
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Steppenwolf-Essential-Penguin-Hermann-Hesse/dp/0140282580/
( currently reading it; not my usual kind of stuff, but a picture perfect
portrait of the heavy mental; strange to see someone has been here before…
coincidence or not, this book is the source of the name of a band that
first talked about “heavy metal” in the Born to be Wild song, a one hit
wonder…. )

And, during last week, taking advantage of being “unemployed” and
going through early spring cleaning and organization, I have also put
in order and have been reviewing my magazine collection (Wired, Red
Herring, Business 2.0, Fast Company, Technology Review, Linux Journal,
Strategy + Business, Industry Standard, Harvard Business Review, Edge
and Game Developer)

Here’s 15 years of Internet in Wired issues, from 1.1 April 1993 to
16.02 February 2006:
