How Music Got Free

It's about the rise of music piracy in the mid 90's and how most of the earliest uploads are attributed to just a few users.

The first chapter was about the development of the MP3 which actually began in the early 80s. Pretty interesting my stuff.
 
"Look Who's Back" - Timur Vermes is on tap now. Also downloaded "A Short History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson.
 
Just finished Into the Fire.

Good book. I actually worked with someone who is mentioned in the book, which I didn't know until reading the book.
 
The Magic of Reality by Richard Dawkins, an accessible and wide ranging overview of the scientific method that I'd recommend to all ages as an antidote to scientific illiteracy.

I want to read Go Set A Watchman but haven't read To Kill a Mockingbird since high school. So I just started re-reading that.
 
I'm reading In the Flesh by Clive Barker. I really like short horror. Going well so far.

Very good book by such a polarizing person. It should could sway many opinions if people gave it a shot.
 
I kinda enjoyed Victus: The Fall of Barcelona (except page 115 where the author felt like he had to jolt us with a curve ball, George R.R. Martin style). But a pretty good historical novel with an unpredictable anti-hero character.
 
Operation Nemisis.

The hunting down of Ottoman officials responsible for the Armenian genocide. Some blue collar guys just hunted these guys down one by one and assinated them.
