<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://globalnerdy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/books_im_reviewing_may_2008.jpg" alt="Books I\&#039;m reviewing in May 2008" title="books_im_reviewing_may_2008" width="400" height="337" /></p>

So she gave this book to me, and I'll be reading it so that when the course comes around -- it's May 21st through 23rd -- I'll be at least familiar with the material.</li>
</ul>

<p>And four books from <a href="http://apress.com/">Apress</a>, courtesy of Julie Miller:</p>
