the "internet book" edition

Somehow, of late, I went on an Internet Book spree, and read more or less back to back four books that were written as offshoots to blogs or companions to blogs or by people who write blogs or in some way were blog and or internet related. There's this whole synergy thing happening, with writers and the internet and writers on the internet and magical books that emerge from the internet by writers who wrote and or write on the internet. You may have heard of it. It's all crazy.

I did not, deliberately and with great care, choose a theme for my recent reading, but it was there, and who ignores serendipity? Certainly not me, because I am not a communist. So see below.
