I’m starting a new feature today: Reading Now.  In my old journal I used to write one (or two) sentence book reviews. Eventually I plan to bring that series to this journal too. For now, I’m just sharing what I’m reading right now. Who knows, maybe you’ve read the same books and would like to share your thoughts (no spoilers please!).

As this is ‘entry #1′ in the series, and it required a little explanation, I’m posting it as a regular journal entry. The plan is to use a Post Format for it. Post Formats are arguably the most exciting new feature in WordPress 3.1, aka Django, and I can’t wait to implement them here!

So without further ado (I was going to split the list between fiction and non-fiction, but it turns out I’m not reading any fiction at this time):

1. The Master Switch: The Rise and Fall of Information Empires by Tim Wu

2. Smashing WordPress Themes: Making WordPress Beautiful by Thord Daniel Hedengren

3. Big Sid’s Vincati by Matthew Biberman
