I just splurged on a pile of books from my favorite independent bookstore, Bookshop Santa Cruz!

I've been feeling the urge to actually READ the books I just skimmed in school as a teenager. Like, maybe one reason I feel so disconnected from others is the fact that I never actually read anything that I was supposed to read.

Plus a few for just the sheer fun of it . . .

So, so happy to see my @OReillyMedia book _Making Embedded Systems_ on the shelves at #bookshopsantacruz

It is in such good company too! Squee!

Please send me pics of my book in the wild. I love seeing it.

#BookshopSantaCruz has had some very good free in store book talks this summer. A couple of weeks ago #DaveEggers of McSweeneys fame gave a humorous & informative talk about his new book “THE EYES AND THE IMPOSSIBLE”, & how he was able to publish it with front & back covers made of bamboo. The front with intricate cutouts. A couple of days ago #SantaCruzShakespeare performed a funny scene from “The Book of Will”, etc. Tonight, #AndreaNguyen, Vietnamese cookbook author, w/food!
