Humble bundle ebooks

Humble Bundle is offering a deal on ebooks, if anyone is interested. http://www.humblebundle.com/ . I'm not affiliated fyi, and it's for charity. Pay what you want and you get
Pirate Cinema by Cory Doctorow
Pump Six and Other Stories by Paolo Bacigalupi
Zoo City by Lauren Beukes
Invasion: The Secret World Chronicle by Mercedes Lackey et al.
Stranger Things Happen by Kelly Link
Magic for Beginners by Kelly Link

If you pay more than the average (currently about $12), you also get Old Man's War by John Scalzi and Signal to Noise by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean.

I've just started Zoo City and it looks quite interesting. And, I loved Bacigalupi's Windup Girl, so I'm interested to see what his other writing is like.

A study showed that a service earned more when clients were invited to make a contribution than when required to pay a set fee.

Open source, Creative Commons, I love this kind of thing.
