time to return books to the library and pick up a new batch...

returning:

The Clinton Wars - by Sidney Blumenthal - didn't get around to reading it and it's apparently on hold for someone else, so i couldn't renew it - maybe some other time...

Skin flutes & velvet gloves : a collection of facts and fancies, legends and oddities about the body's private parts - by Terri Hamilton - this was such an interesting book I bought two copies of it on amazon - one for me, one for greg. i knew greg would love this book of weird trivia about penises and vaginas (definitely more penis-centric, but interesting nonetheless.)

The wisdom of the enneagram : the complete guide to psychological and spiritual growth for the nine personality types - Don Richard Riso - gonna hafta buy this one so i can write in the margins - very cool book.

Leaving reality behind : etoy vs eToys.com & other battles to control cyberspace - by Adam Wishart - definitely a case of you can't judge a book by it's cover. very interesting, but really it's two separate books, one about etoy and one about etoys.com, then a bit at the end about the fight over the domain name. don't know where the "other battles" portion of the book is - i was expecting stuff about things like the fight over nissan.com - the computer guy with the last name of Nissan vs. Nissan motors. i'm very interested in etoy.com tho - weird guys, dunno if i like em or not.

Arch - book of photos of Andy Goldsworthy's art. after seeing Rivers and Tides, i've found myself very interested in Goldsworthy's stuff.

Google hacks : [100 industrial-strength tips & tools] - too industrial strength for me, tho i did learn a few interesting things.

101 survival secrets : how to make $1,000,000, lose 100 pounds, and just plain live happily - by Rich Hatch, winner of Survivor. i was amazed and how intelligent this guy is - a surprisingly interesting read.

Kill duck before serving : red faces at The New York Times : a collection of the newspaper's most interesting, embarrassing and off-beat corrections - by Tom Bloom - funny, but it's more of an article than a book: there's lots of filler in this one.

No logo : taking aim at the brand bullies - by Naomi Klein - found this in doing a search for culture jamming, didn't get to read the whole thing, maybe another time...

Second acts : creating the life you really want, building the career you truly desire - Stephen M. Pollan - no time to read this one, maybe another time...

Your own worst enemy : breaking the habit of adult underachievement - Kenneth Christian - no time to read this one either, maybe another time...
