Read about 70 pages of A Meaningful Life by L.J. Davis. I bought it this weekend at a book stall, had never heard of the guy, but the write-up on the back peaked my interest. The writing has made me laugh a couple of times already so it was 4 euros well spent.
I'm also trying to read this book about IBM facilitating the Nazi regime by Edwin Black, which sounds pretty conspiratory but has proven to be an interesting read thusfar. Apparently a punch card system developed by the company made it possible to organize the deportation and destruction of the jews very effectively for the Nazi's. The argument is grist on the mill for the Luddite in me - is that proper English? Technological progress + a corporate desire for profit + unethical leaders = death.
