Books I read in 2007

I read a lot of dry technical books and didn't read as much as I'm accustomed to

God Delusion - Richard Dawkins
Iron Sunrise - Charles Stross
Singularity sky - Charles Stross
Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini
Ham on Rye - Bukowski (re-read)
P.S. I scored the bridesmaids - Ross O'Carroll-Kelly
The Sleeper Awakens - H.G. Wells
The 22 Immutable laws of Branding - Ries and Ries
Junky - William S Burroughs
Hells Angels - Hunter S Thompson
Glasshouse - Charles Stross
Setting Free the Bears - John Irving
Sirens of Titan - Vonnegut (R.I.P. - so it goes)
Room full of Mirrors (Jimi Hendrix biography) - Charles Cross
His Dark Materials Trilogy (Northern Lights, Subtle Knife, Amber Spyglass) - Philip Pullman
Gormenghast Triology - Meryn Peake (started)
The Blind Watchman - Richard Dawkins (half-done)
ASP.NET Essentials (C#) - Onion
ASP.NET 2.0 Essentials (C#) - Onion
MCTS Application Development Foundation - Microsoft
Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture - Fowler
The pragmatic programmer - Hunt and Thomas
Coder to Developer - Mike Gunderloy
Database in Depth - C.J.Date (quarter-done; slow read, but excellent)
Design Patterns - Gamma, Helm, Johnson and Vlissides (the 'Gang of Four' book! - started...)

I'm sure I missed a few; I usually read a bit more than that - I was slowed down by the technical books - just a little...
