Announcements – Geek Book

It’s been a long time since I’ve written a review. So review requests have dropped off. The reason for the lack of posting on my part has been due to the demands of life. Later this year I hope to get back in the saddle a bit. Part of that real life business culminates in my family and I moving from Florida to Budapest Hungary here in about a month.

The reason I’m posting about this here is because if you have a book you want me to review, once my life gets back to normal I may be able to do it, but your best bet will be to get me the book in an electronic format rather than mailing me a copy. So publishers, authors, and publicists — unless you feel like shipping your book to Budapest, I will need it in electronic format. I have a Kindle so that will work. EPUB is probably the format that would work best for me. On-line books are a possibility but to be honest, something I can read when disconnected will be best.

Thanks,
JR

On Deck

Posted on 29 February, 2008 by bookGeek

I really wanted to post on the 29th – but I haven’t finished anything recently. But here is what’s on deck right now.

~~Head First Java Script~~
AJAX The Definitive Guide
~~Wikipedia The Missing Manual~~
~~Mistborn~~
~~Children of Hurin~~

I’m not sure what order you will see the reviews show up – but they are in the works. As I finish the books, you’ll be the first to know.

If you are a geek who loves books, you probably love to share reading with others. It is possible right now, to provide books for needy kids without moving away from your keyboard. Just head on over to Dewey Donation System and help out some kids. I just did.
