- Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson. It's doubly shameful that I haven't gotten around to reading it yet, since I'm both a geek and Filipino. Big thanks to Emma Jane for giving me her hardcopy edition!
- Idoru, All Tomorrow's Parties and Pattern Recognition by William Gibson. Also a shame, because at Crazy Go Nuts University, I was the go-to guy for cyberpunk.
- Cute, Quaint, Hungry and Romantic: The Aesthetics of Consumerism by Daniel Harris
- Welcome to the Jungle: The Why Behind "Generation X" by Geoffrey T. Holtz.

I am knee deep in Chuck Klosterman's Sex Drugs and Cocoa Puffs and I highly recomend it.
