Photo No. 22: Coptic Stitch Lesson

I made this book at Artfest.

Finished a book

I'm pleased to report that I finished the second book in Stieg Larsson's series of the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. As I mentioned in an earlier post it was on my reading list.

That is all.

Books on my nightstand

These are the books on my nightstand. They're not ranked in any particular order, nor does a spot in the stack mean I'll actually read it. These are the books on my nightstand I'd like to finish.

I've got a nice combo of summer reading books, biz books I should finish, books to improve my work/life balance and books I find feed my inner geek.

I've started reading four of them and suspect that I'll finish them sometime this year...or not.

When I travel I try to bring along a book, but my own personal craving for hard cover or the so-called coffee table books makes me a shoe-in for the additional weight baggage fee. I'm struggle to keep my luggage light as it is. I swear most times I pick my bags up at the baggage carousel only to find a neon orange tag affixed that boldly declares HEAVY in ten languages.

But back to the books--here they are in order from top to bottom:

1. The Girl Who Played With Fire by Steig Larson
2. Made to Stick by Chip Heath and Dan Heath (on a side note I saw one of the authors speak...such simple concepts that work brilliantly)
3. Take Back Your Life by Sally McGhee
4. The Visual Miscellaneum by David McCandless (love, love, love this book)
5. The Art of Possibility by Rosamund Stone Zander and Benjamin Zander
6. Lovemarks by Kevin Roberts
7. Eyetracking Web Usability by Jakob Nielsen and Kara Pernice
