the amazon page reviews sound interesting. i'll keep it in mind for the next book i buy.

i was re-reading the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy books, then i found the iCon book (Steve Jobs biography) and the new harry potter book.
i finished harry potter, and am almost finished iCon. then i will finish the hitchhiker's guide, then i have 3 dean koontz books i need to start (velocity, odd thomas, the taking).

then i'll look at manhook

how is iCon? thats a clever title that they used off the ibook, imac, ipod naming scheme.
i also thought the Manhook amazon reviews were quite good, the book has been received well everywhere i've seen it mentioned.

I'm reading "Darwin's Dangerous Idea" by Daniel Dennet. It melds darwinism with philsophy and explains how darwin's ideas apply almost everywhere. It even talks about the origin of life, which is really interesting.
