Book Baton
A book baton, another from the series of this years’ run-around-the-blogosphere marathons, has been passed to me by my fellow blogger Cody Lindley. I found this one interesting, because I swallowed quite a few books lately, some of them web design/development related.
Not being a fan of novels, fiction and such, although I used to write all kinds of prose in a high-school (even being awarded, but that’s another story), the book has to be about my hobbies or work to make me want to read it.

Oh geez, I’ve been passed another baton! I browsed through your entry the other day but didn’t notice that you threw it at me. I haven’t been all that literate lately, but I’ll see what I can do. :)
