Book giving ideas

December 05, 2004 in Media

Not from me this time, though if I read more new books I would recommend some too you. This one comes from the New York Times: 100 Notable Books of the Year.

This year the [New York Times] Book Review has selected 100 Notable Books from those reviewed since the Holiday Books issue of Dec. 7, 2003.

Sadly I've only read one on the entire list, The Island at the Center of the World: The Epic Story of Dutch Manhattan, the Forgotten Colony that Shaped America, which was great. 2004 has been my most pathetic year for reading. I used to read the number of books I've read this year in a week back in the day. Hopefully 2005 will be different.

What's this site?

You are reading the personal blog of Meg Hourihan. I co-founded the company that created Blogger (now owned by Google). You can read more about me on the about page.

This site is updated several times a week, and has been since May, 1999. General topics of interest include food, travel, technology, and women's rights. If you'd like to get in touch with me, please visit the contact page for details.

What else is there?

There are photos, some recipes, a list of articles I've written, and a reading list of books I've read and enjoyed. There is also a long list of my speaking engagements where I've presented on topics such as blogging, web development, and entrepreneurship.

The most current blog content is on the front page. Older content is available by month in the monthly archives.

At the BlogHer Conference 2006, I will be joining Caterina Fake in a keynote discussion with Marnie Webb to discuss, "What's Next?: What's next in tech? Is 'Web 2.0' hype? Or hip? And what's next once you grab your brass ring?"
