I finished my most recent book a few days ago and am ready to start a new one. On my nightstand is Illium, the new book by Dan Simmons. It's a big book around 600 pages that will take me a while to read. I'm not sure I feel like a reading another long novel right now.

I am looking forward to the Tivo Hacks book, but it's not out yet. I've looked over the table of contents and it appears to be chock full of cool stuff for me to play with. There's another two books coming out, Hacking the Tivo and Hacking Tivo, but neither of them are out yet either.

I guess I could pick up the Google Hacks book, it's out. But the Windows XP Hacks book, is you guessed it, not out yet.

Maybe it's time to go off the normal path and finally read Guns, Germs, and Steel, supposedly a great book on history.

What to do, what to do? Perhaps a trip to the library is in order.

Any suggestions?
