It’s true that I’m a sucker when it comes to reading, and that until the recent release of an easy-to-use new eBook reader I’d managed to keep that addiction held somewhere on just one contextual action list. Now that Stanza has made eBook acquisition, digestion and enjoyment so absolutely flawless, I’ve found myself spending an inordinate amount of time with the work of Mr. Cory Doctorow, whose work I’ve enjoyed in the past.

Little Brother and When Sysadmins Ruled the World have both fallen victim to my scanning eyes in the last two days, and I just can’t say enough about them…even if I disagree with some of the political angles that Cory takes.

This isn’t going to be a detailed review of either book; there are plenty of those on the interweb already (hint: try these guys). Rather, consider this a quick endorsement from the most official purveyor of Turnipville goods and services, the master of my laptop, and the guy who loves my wife the most.

Hey, Cory…thanks for writing, dude.
