So the merge window is over, and the subsequent "oops-that-needs-fixing" period is calming down, and so I get to read again.
Today's book was Dark Banquet by Bill Schutt.
Most of the time I read random fantasy or sci-fi (ie my previous books were re-reading Robin Hobb's Farseer and Tawny man trilogies), but when I read anything else it tends to be about biology or evolution. Sometimes physics, and essentially never about computers.
So this time it was biology, and if you're interested in blood-sucking bats (the real kind, not the mythical ones), I don't think you can go wrong. It's fairly light reading, with a couple of laugh-out-loud moments. Recommended.

Have fun reading, Linus ;) ! I mostly read computer books...
Don't miss the Liveship Traders by Hobb, also recommended. For Sci-Fi I would suggest Peter F. Hamilton, esp. Night's Dawn and Confederation cycle are very good reads!
Reading non-computer-related books is great helps one better understand the world around and gives lots of ideas. Keep reading Linus!
If you want to combine biology and science fiction, I'd recommend Greg Bears 'Blood Music' and 'Darwin's Radio'.
Have you read any Gene Wolfe? The Book of the New Sun tetralogy and the Long Sun one are very good, and I hear he also wrote a film noir style crime story with Lovecraftian components :) (An Evil Guest)
A good portion of science, a well woven fiction, paired with biology and evolution as background...
"Frank Schätzing, The Swarm" is a must-have in this category.
The Bible is fun to read. Here's a tip -- the funniest story in the Bible is first kings chapter 22. It's a couple pages and is hilarious.
I used to worship intelligence... now, wisdom. Psalms are good to read.
Wisdom is like knowing that sometimes a really clever creates problems. The only time I got bitten by a virus was when I clicked on a .TXT email and Windows decided it was an executable!
Why don't you write wisdom about programming that you have learned?
Thanks for the suggestion ! :)
Hi Linus,
I've been reading a book called "just for fun". About a guy in a BMW Z3... ;-)

Light or heavy reading, when a books fails to "capture" you it just won't happen.
I've tried many times to read a book I was really interested in, but if it fails to be a page turner for me I get distracted too easily.
So I decided to put away the fiction, and now I'm reading "The God Delusion". I never knew how interesting a non-fiction book could be.
Talking about "evolution" I enjoy reading "Here comes everybody" from Clay Shirky.
Interesting guy:

There is nothing better than Shakespeare. In the original Klingon of course. ;-)
I'm currently reading Body of Secrets by James Bamford. It's a well-researched overview and history of the National Security Agency, its structure and methods of operation, and the role it has played in world events of the past few decades. A real eye-opener, this book.
I suppose it'd be pathetic to recommend reading Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom... but it's one of the few things I've read lately.
I must say though my psychology book is HILARIOUS at times! They'll throw something in there about observing small children on a playground and how you should conceal yourself to avoid the observer effect and it's like, seriously, you want me to camp out by a playground and spy on small children?! Are you serious. Wow, yeah, I'm _not_ going to do that.
One of my favorite Sci-Fi's is by Philip K. Dick: "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?". If you haven't read it yet you should give it a read, even if you have read it, it is an excellent reread.
Cheers!

I'm not sure I should advertise these books here as it may delay Linux kernel release ;-) but I really like Lois Mc Master Bujold serie on Miles Vorkosigan/Barrayar.
Really nice SF!
I am currently reading Az ellenállás melankóliája (The Melancholy of Resistance) by László Krasznahorkai and then I will read Tuntematon sotilas (The Unknown Soldier ) by Väinö Linna
I fancy reading some books by Kaari Utrio but I don't think there are any English translations .
Hey,
Try the books of David & leigh eddings, for a good laugh and fantastic fantasy...
Same for Terry Goodkind!
I've read a ton of sci fi/fantasy too. Here's my Shelfari if you want to browse for something new: http://www.shelfari.com/o1518134349/shelf -- one particularly powerful series for me was (and still is) Time Master.
