What books are you reading?
Renegade:
Mike Hernandez's classic Database Design for Mere Mortals: A Hands-On Guide to Relational Database Design Still the single best book on the topic of relational database design AFAIC. Now in its 3rd edition. I'm reading it to see what's changed since the previous two editions - both of which I own and read. :

Hey, please do report back on anything interesting.
I was doing some data work for someone recently, and was screaming inside about how awful the data was. This stuff should have been in the 6th normal form and it was in the 2nd.

Damn! You're either a VERY fast reader or you have a lot of time on your hands!
Then again, I did read a fiction book a few months ago, and it was quite quick to get through. (I think I posted it above.) About all of my reading is technical, and it takes me a while to get through it. :(

Slow reader with lots of time :)
These are only @275 pp or so. A good size for the suitcase. Even hardback isn't too heavy to drag. :)
