I’ve gone on a book-buying frenzy the last few months. I suppose I’ve always wanted a library at home, but the only books I’ve had were random assorted books I’d found, along with all the books I bought during bible school. But no classics of any kind (well, except for Moby Dick).

So, these are the books I’ve bought and currently on my reading list:

• Brothers Karamazov (Fyodor Dostoevsky)
• Crime and Punishment (Fyodor Dostoevsky)
• The Idiot (Fyodor Dostoevsky)
• Stalin: The Court of the Red Csar (Simon Seabag Montefiore)
• The Pragmatic Programmer (Andrew Hunt, David Thomas)
• Head First Design Patterns (Eric Freeman, Elisabeth Freeman)
• .NET Framework Essentials (Thuan Thai, Hoang Q. Lam)
• Caves of Steel (Isaac Asimov)
• Nemesis (Isaac Asimov)
• Robots and Empire (Isaac Asimov)
• The Foundation Trilogy (Isaac Asimov)
• The Naked Sun (Isaac Asimov)
• The Robots of Dawn (Isaac Asimov)

All in all, a pretty hefty reading list. Combined with my ever-lasting Churchill memoirs (in which I have now come to the opening of 1942), this should make for a long, interesting summer.
