Some good books and sounds...

Turns out I'm mainly using my PrataLife blog for music and book reviews. Thought I'd post a summary here of what I've been through over the past few months..

First, fiction:

• The Paris Option


• The Warden


• The Pyrates


• The Leavenworth Case


• The Best Laid Plans


• A Different Point of View


• HunterKiller


• The Ambler Warning


• The Extraordinary Adventures of Arsène Lupin, Gentleman Burgler

Non-fiction/technology:

• Software Fortresses


• The Weather Makers


• Rails for Java Developers


• The World is Flat


• blink


• The Tipping Point


• Softwar - An Intimate Portrait of Larry Ellison and Oracle

If there's one single recommendation I'd make, it would be to check out Terry Fallis' The Best Laid Plans. It's a delight - as a (free) podcast novel, and soon I will hopefully have the real, physical book in my hands...

Along the way I've snuck in a few music faves such as Gwen Stefani's The Sweet Escape (also with a mention of Japan's incredible Uplift Spice) and Rush's Exit.. Stage Left.
