Liu & Albitz: DNS and BIND
Very well written, very thorough.
Greg Egan: Schild's Ladder
Ouch! My brain hurts from the quantum weirdness. Some neat ideas, but doesn't hold up to the standard set by Diaspora.
David Brin: Startide Rising
Always a joy to re-read an old favourite.
Greg Egan: Permutation City
Wow! An instant favourite. This, combined with Diaspora, are the best depiction of life-as-software that I have ever seen.
Bill Bryson: A Short History of Nearly Everything
A very entertaining tour through the history of science. Good for the general reader.
