Since I have purchased my Kindle last year. I have plowed through whole lot of books. While I find many shortcoming in the current generation of Kindle, its superb mobility trumps it all. I like to carry it everywhere and I filled much of my idle time reading.

While I greatly appreciate the convenience of e-book, having a Kindle actually prompted me to finally open the big pile of unread books I have purchased over the years. I am very encouraged to make progress on them at last. Still much work is need as some of them are mathematics or algorithm book that requires considerable effort to learn and read.

In all I have finished 17 books in the last 7 months. I intend to write a little about each of them. But first of all, this list are the ones I have written already:

• Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution by Steven Levy (1985)
• Super Sad True Love Story by Gary Shteyngart (2010)
• The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain by Barbara Strauch (2010)
• The Facebook Era by Clara Shih (2009)

And these are the rest:

• Who's Your City? by Richard Florida (2008)
• 《香港，醒醒！》 香港經濟日報 (2007)
• Raising Happiness: 10 Simple Steps for More Joyful Kids and Happier Parents by Christine Carter (2010)
• The Compassionate Instinct: The Science of Human Goodness by Dacher Keltner, Jeremy Adam Smith, Jason Marsh (2010)
• 《亲历可可西里十年——志愿者讲述》 (2005)
• HTML5: Up and Running by Mark Pilgrim (2010)
• Beginning Python Visualization by Shai Vaingast (2009)
• Data Analysis with Open Source Tools by Philipp K. Janert (2010)
• The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet by David Mitchell (2010)
