I really love reading books, specifically fantasy novels and science books (astronomy, physics, everything about the social and technical aspects of software development). I also share a collection of over hundred cookbooks with my flatmate.

I am coauthor of "Softwaretests mit JUnit" (2nd ed. of UnitTestingInJava?), 2005, JohannesLink? et al., http://stmj.developertests.de/

Just found http://www.bookcrossing.com/ - looks like fun! If you happen to live in Karlsruhe, Germany, you can try to catch some of my books... ;)
