So how could I not download a free Kindle version of Free?
- Rex Hammock on May 26, 2009 at 11:10pmRex Hammock liked and commented on Thunderstruck on amazon.com
A great read. Like Devil in the White City, a murder mystery and the history of an engineering feat have intertwining narratives.

Dude can f**king write. (My lame attempt to capture the narrator's voice.) Dark and troubling, but took me to a place I've never been.

Downloaded to my Kindle and will be using some travel time to read it.
- Rex Hammock on November 30, 2008 at 12:10pmRex Hammock liked and commented on Outliers: The Story of Success on amazon.com
It's what you'd expect from Gladwell -- incredibly great writing that helps you see the familiar in a new way.
- Rex Hammock on November 30, 2008 at 12:08pmRex Hammock liked and commented on American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House on amazon.com
An excellent biography about Jackson's White House years and how he radically changed the office. I highly recommend it for history buffs.

McPhee's Pulitzer Prize winning book based on many of his New Yorker pieces about geology.
- Rex Hammock on November 26, 2008 at 5:01pmRex Hammock commented on The Headmaster: Frank L. Boyden of Deerfield on books.google.com
One of John McPhee's earliest books was this excellent short biography (an expansion a New Yorker piece he wrote) of Frank Boyden.

Great book -- and inspiration to find a better way.
- Rex Hammock on November 15, 2008 at 11:13amRex Hammock liked and commented on Gilead on en.wikipedia.org
Pulitzer Prize winning novel that is written in a journal form. Incredible writing but not for everyone. Father-son dynamics explored.
- Rex Hammock on November 15, 2008 at 11:11amRex Hammock commented on Supreme Courtship on amazon.com
Read it. Funny and prescient -- written before Sarah Palin, but has some weird similarity to how that all unfolded.
- Rex Hammock on October 25, 2008 at 2:40pmRex Hammock liked and commented on Spook Country
Not as good as Pattern Recognition, but an interesting read for Gibson fans.
- Rex Hammock on October 19, 2008 at 7:52pmRex Hammock liked and commented on Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life
I have recommended this book so many times, I deserve a commission.
- Rex Hammock on October 19, 2008 at 7:48pmRex Hammock liked and commented on On Writing
Written while King was recovering from being run over and nearly killed, this is a surprising gem - and a great book about the writing craft
- Rex Hammock on October 19, 2008 at 7:46pmRex Hammock liked and commented on Theodore Rex
One of Morris' great Teddy Roosevelt triology.
- Rex Hammock on October 19, 2008 at 7:44pmRex Hammock liked and commented on The Cluetrain Manifesto: The End of Business as Usual
Markets are conversations. This book help me envision what today would be like.

You need this book somewhere visible in your workspace if you want to be taken seriously as a designer. ; )
- Rex Hammock on October 19, 2008 at 7:39pmRex Hammock liked and commented on Envisioning Information
Information shared in confusing ways is not information worth sharing.

- Rex Hammock on October 19, 2008 at 7:33pmRex Hammock liked and commented on Benjamin Franklin: An American Life
An extraordinary book about an extraordinary person.
- Rex Hammock on October 19, 2008 at 7:31pmRex Hammock liked and commented on A Short History of Nearly Everything
Humor and physics -- the perfect match.
- Rex Hammock on October 19, 2008 at 7:28pmRex Hammock liked and commented on Pattern Recognition
I think this is the best William Gibson novel.

I love this wild and crazy book. Writing about humor is not typically funny -- buy most writers aren't Steve Martin.
