Books and junk.

There isn't really anything important about this lazy little post... just sharing some books! *geeky smile*

Title: Little Brother
Author: Cory Doctorow
Summary: Marcus, aka "w1n5t0n", is only seventeen years old, but he figures he already knows how the system works-and how to work the system. Smart, fast, and wise to the ways of the networked world, he has no trouble outwitting his high school's intrusive but clumsy surveillance systems.


But his whole world changes when, having skipped school, he and his friends find themselves caught in the aftermath of a major terrorist attack on San Fransisco. In the wrong place at the wrong time, Marcus and his crew are apprehended by the Department of Homeland Security and whisked away to a secret prison, where they're mercilessly interrogated for days.


When the DHS finally releases them, Marcus discovers that his city has become a police state, where every citizen is treated like a potential terrorist. He knows that no one will believe his story, which leaves him only one option: to take down the DHS by himself.


Can one teenage hacker fight back against a government control? Maybe, but only if he's really careful... and very, very smart.

Title: Tiger's Curse
Author: Colleen Houck
Summary: The last thing Kelsey Hayes thought she'd be doing this summer was trying to break a 300-year-old Indian curse. With a mysterious tiger named Ren. Halfway around the world.

But that's exactly what happened.

Face-to-face with dark forces, spell-binding magic, and mystical worlds where nothing is as it seems, Kelsey risks everything to piece together an ancient prophecy that could break the curse forever.
