I like to read a lot about Internet and other geeky and not-so-geeky stuff. And (this might come as a surprise) I actually like reading books. I get tired of looking at the screen all day long, so I prefer actual paper (or you could be my a Kindle 2 if I have really made an impact on you).

So hop over here: Reading Wish List and buy me a book.

It’s not expensive, ranging from (mostly) 3$ to 20$.

Thanks! I really appreciate that!
