Well some electronic gadgetry also of course.

First new book is Jonathan Lewis's "Oracle Core Essential Internals
for DBA and Developers" ...

Second new book is a sci fi book Planesrunner by Ian McDonald ...

Currently I am reading some pages of the first one then switching to
the second one.

Well actually Planesrunner has a bunch of jumping back and forth
between parallel/divergent universes ... it was kind of a really weak
joke reference.

I need to get back to reading it ... it has been really busy since I
posted this topic.

Tanel Poder is on top of the internals space right now. He has not
really written a whole book ( and likely will not ) but does offer
classes periodically. The last 2 years his classes have been web
based ( live from Estonia was the last one ).

I think Jonathan and Tanel are a tough combination ... and Kyte not to
be overlooked!
