I think I love you. Have you read "The Fourth Part of the World"? (maps/GIS nerd here
)
Currently I am reading far too many books simultaneously (I have a problem):
-On the Origin of Species (Darwin)
-The Black Prism (Weeks)
-How the Mind Works (Pinker)
-Broca's Brain (Sagan)
-Omen Machine (Goodkind)
-Programming Python (Lutz)
I tend to finish books in waves, go out and buy 2-3 more, rinse and repeat.
