Welcome naastik - you've got some good reading planned; I'll be interested to hear what you think.

How can you read 6 books at once? The most I can handle is 3!

I am predominantly reading only 3. one at home, one at work (lunch time), one when I am in the gym, on stationary bike. I started the other 3 over a weekend, but have not made much progress since!

Just finished reading Ben Mezrich's Bringing Down The House. Here is my review
