I was a computer engineering major in college, so I’ve encountered a fair share of programming books. Some books taught a new language, while others discussed specific types of hardware.

Since I didn't have any coding to do on the flight, I brought along a couple books and was surprisingly able to finish them both en route.

Romance of Lust by Anonymous My rating: 2 of 5 stars On the one hand, yes, the author has written a very sexy book. It was just a bit too misogynist for my tastes. I don't need any more male-desire-trumps-female-preference in my life. View all my reviews >>

Up Jumps the Devil by Margaret Maron My rating: 2 of 5 stars This book has excellent narration. Ms. Critt gets the voices just right. I had been thinking she's from NC until she read the part about Kinston, NC. She pronounced it "KinGston" :) Otherwise, it was a perfectly smooth narration. I really ...
