Reading, writing... not walking...

Where have I been you may ask... at work or reading. I haven't done as much walking lately (read: lazy and putting on a few pounds). But I've been reading... and writing. Reading has taken up much of my time (outside of work) and writing the remainder. Here's what I've gone through so far this year (UPDATED 29 JULY 2008):
