Books I'm Trying to Finish Reading

Kafka said, "Books are a narcotic" of which I have too many ;-)

In reverse order of purchase:
(1) "Physical Computing: Sensing & Controlling the Physical World with Computers" by O'Sullivan & Igoe ... I have both a deep interest in both embedded controllers and interfacing computers to the physical world. This book looked like a very good popularization suitable for a beginner
(2) "Computer Security for the Home and Small Office" by Greene
(3) "Telecommunications Demystified" by Nassar ... a whim online purchase
(4) "Chemistry Demystified" by Williams ... another whim
(5) "World Class Reliability" by Bhote & Bhote ... currently reading this one. A useful overview of the "Reliability" field but otherwise reads like an advertisement for their consulting service. Provided several buzzwords and names for a more detailed Google search
(6) "Six-Sigma for Managers" by Brue
(7) "Bebop to the Boolean Boogie" by Maxfield ... recommended by the folks at Embedded Computing
(8) "Writing Great Code" by Hyde
(9) "Juran's Quality Control Handbook" by Juran (actually a 'gift' from a FAB tool-owner ... he was tired of it occupying shelf space ;-);-);-)
(10) "China: A New History" by Fairbanks & Coleman
(11) "Harvard Business Review on Knowledge Management"
(12) "The Knowledge Management Toolkit" by Tiwana
(13) "The 9/11 Commission Report"
(14) "Ethereal Packet Sniffing" by Orebaugh
(15) "An Embedded Software Primer" by Simon
(16) "The Fifth Discipline Fieldbook" by Senge et al
(xx) Ooops!!! I forgot some
(17) "The Ten Day MBA" by Steven Silbiger
(18) "Godel, Escher, Bach" by Douglas Hofstadter
(19) "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen Covey (effective or defective)
(20) "Medicine For Mountaineering" edited by James Wilkerson
(21) "Beyond Backpacking" by Ray Jardine
(22) "Building Scientific Apparatus" by John Moore et al
