What I have been reading...
Any collection of short stories contains little pearls as well as tales that don't really stick. This book was purchased by my wife who buys almost anything Neil Gaiman writes, yes she is a fan... I should never have shown her my Sandman...
Greenwald's book on how he got in touch with Snowden and revealed the biggest and most shocking InfoSec leak ever, reads almost as Ludlum's Bourne saga. One has to admire Snowden's patience when he reaches out to Greenwald, who is border...
