Netherland

A bit long, but The Index of Self-Destructive Acts by Dominic Beha has bits touching on tech and business. It is quickly (for its length) read. Another book set in the first decade of the century is Netherland by Joseph O'Neill (nothing in particular to do with tech or business), not long, and quite readable.

Some on this list are great, some just good: _The Critique of Pure Reason_--got about halfway through 30 years ago, set it aside, picked it up again. Probably shorter than <i>The Fountainhead</i> but takes a long time to read. _The Vindication of Tradition_, Jaroslav Pelikan, theology, very short quick read. _Netherland_ by Joseph O'Neill, via the neighborhood book club. Interesting picture of New York, thin characterization. _The Library at Night_, Alberto Manguel, actually a gift to my wife from a friend of hers. Good browsing book. _Untimely Thoughts_ by Nietzche. Probably not a great place to start Nietzche, but at least the first essay is interesting. _The Spectator Bird_, Wallace Stegner. Good novel, though maybe not my favorite Stegner. _Germany 1866-1945_ by Gordon Craig. Long, very readable.
