My initial reaction upon finishing Little Brother was "Wow, that was really good." My second though was, "I really want a burrito." Burritos came up pretty frequently in that book, so I decided to go and get one. Then I wanted it really spicy like Ange wanted hers in the book. So I poured the only hot sauce I had in my refrigerator all over the burrito. It happened to be habanero chile sauce, and the burrito turned out to be pretty great. I think I might be a spicy food addict, as well. Reading this book left me thinking about a lot of different things that had never really crossed my mind. One being the paranoia I sometimes caught myself feeling, forgetting that I was no longer in the story. Also, I thought the acknowledgments at the back of the book were really interesting. Most of the technology that the book is based on is actually real. I don't know a great deal about computer programming and electronics so I found this to be really cool. I'm definitely going to look into this. This book certainly sparked my curiosity in many things!

  1. And I really should keep in mind making a title for my entries. Sorry, guys.

  2. It's cool that this has gotten you interested in some technological stuff. I was casually talking about this book around some of my Computer Science friends and one mentioned that this book is what got him into programming in the first place.

  3. I could feel my mouth burn when I was thinking about that hot sauce spritzer.

    1. I know! And when he likened it to the way you feel when you eat a big pile of wasabi. I could literally feel my sinuses closing up the way he described!

  4. Really? That's awesome. There were some parts of the book, I think mainly when he was explaining "tunneling", that it pretty much went right over my head, but I'm sure you probably knew what he was talking about due to your computer science background. It's when I don't understand something that I get really interested in it. Google is a dear friend to me. Haha
