And recently I have found a true gem there: J.C. Hutchins‘ “7th Son” trilogy, a truly ripping read. I really raced through the chapters, and finished book 2 today so eagerly ogling my downloads of book 3.

I will not spoil the story for you, but if you like gripping thrillers get yourself over to podiobooks.com or jchutchins.net and get yourself some! Go! Run!

Go there and get some. Me, I’m especially interested in Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything by Don Tapscott and Anthony D. Williams. It’s on my Amazon list already.

The Woz on spot #1 is a no-brainer, Woz being a Geek God, but the rest of the list is a nice history lesson and one wake-up ;-)
