Got word of a website where you can download books for free. Illegal of course, but free books! I'll email the link to some people after I've gotten the books I want. Who knows how long this bootleg site will last before the fuzz shuts it down.

Anyway, so bingeing on books. Finally found Godel Escher Bach by Douglas Hofstadter: been on my wishlist for ages, I've often heard it praised by computer people and other nerds. And Richard Dawkins, Neal Stephenson, Heinlein, Carl Sagan, etc. Bookgasm.
