Hi Pat,

It's great that you guys are going to have Cory Doctorow on the show soon. I've been following his work lately and I've been very impressed. I think he's a very prominent voice for the consumer in the whole digital rights/fair use mess.

Anyway, I've been reading some of his books. The reason I bought his books is because he makes them available under Creative Commons on his website. If you want a recommendation, I think you should try reading "Eastern Standard Tribe." It's a fun book to read and it isn't too long either. I'm not a big science fiction guy so I really like his genre of science fiction which is set in the not too distant future and is not jargon-y like a lot of other sci-fi out there.

Yeah, I've downloaded all three of his books that he has available for download. They look pretty good, I just need to print them out. I've also been listening to his podcast where he reads short stories, which is very entertaining.
