I've read:
PHP and MySQL Web Development - 2nd Edition
The CSS Anthology
Designing Web Usability
JavaScript For The World Wide Web - 4th Edition
PHP For The World Wide Web
PERL And CGI For The World Wide Web - 2nd Edition
The Internet - 4th Edition
I'd say those books are 10 times as geeky as the ones on slashdot's list.

fangoria and stuff like that are great. DC's Vertigo line is well worth reading as well. nothing says geek more that a 24 year old with an evergrowing comic collection.. does that answer your question fag?\/.oDK@ wrote:I got 1/2 way though Dune in the early 90`s
