So I admit it. I haven't read a book since high school. I never could get into the stories we were assigned much. I think the last one I remember actually enjoying was "Castle in the Attic" or something.

Even in college I haven't read much... there was one English class where we were expected to read a novel every week, so that class was promptly droped.

Yes, terribly ironic that I want to write, but never read anything.

But the streak seems to be over, I purchased and am now totally into a book called "Little Brother" by Cory Doctorow which is about as nerdy as a book can get. The first 3 chapters had words like "IRC" and "botnet" and "teh suck" but also has a really sort of scary realistic near-future scenario.

I heard about the book on "Attack of the Show" on G4 (or G4TechTV for Canadian friends) which I actually rarely watch even though I employed by the network (for now), but I happened to catch a segment where they were interviewing the author, whom is also a writer for BoingBoing.net) and it spark my interested which in turned sparked my order to Barnes & Nobel.

He's got a few other techno fiction books out that I may have to check out after this one.
