Geek Books as Holiday Gifts

Sybelius writes "Wired News is running a story that recommends a half dozen good books as holiday gifts. It's a much more inspired list than the one recently offered by Amazon. According to the reviewer, the books chosen are ones that 'any techno-loving, systems-tinkering, hardware-hacking person would love, but that even those who can't program the clock on their VCR will find quite readable.' Do Slashdot readers have any other recommendations for titles that fit this requirement?"

Better idea

ASK!

Theres no "Perfect book", you need to know peoples intrests and it's not difficult to just ask what they'd like. It says you buying something they don't want, then they will do the same for you and you both get what you want and theres none of that "Oh yea I love it.. cough fire lighter", type of thing.

Re:Referrer flood

[IO ERROR]

Last weekend I made $5.01 off of slashdot readers just clicking on my sig and then wandering around my site and buying stuff. And I didn't post any referral links, just the usual trolls and off-topic flamebaiting. Fortunately I have a day job.
