Last few books prior to that:

"Early Dynastic Egypt" by Toby Wilkinson

(Hey kids, see if you can spot the pattern!)

Ok, confession time: who has or has not read "The Mythical Man Month"?

Eh. I like his earlier stuff. "Poor People" in particular.

Ah! Very nice.

>_Franz Kafka: The Complete Stories_ franz kafka

I think Kafka only wrote one significant piece: "The Castle". His
other novels were just minor variations on the same theme, and his
short stories are a bad rip-off of Gogol.

>_One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich_ alexander solzhenitsyn

Good fun light reading. :-(
