I just read I Am America and So Can You!
Greatness! I'm currently re-reading The Game by Niel Strauss. |

If we're talking textbooks, I'm going to throw Principles of Cognitive Neuroscience, A Short History of the Movies, and Fundamentals of Human Neuropsychology out there. :D How are you liking statistics, FYNDR?  |

@Nava: Statistics is overwhelmingly easy in comparison to the Calculus III course I took last semester, but it is definitely a welcome change of pace. In a similar vein, how do you like your neuroscience/neuropsychology texts?

Just finished Middlesex by Jefferey Eugenides, and now I'm reading A Song for Arbonne by Guy Gavriel Kay.

Cryptonomicon.
I read this for the second time a few months ago. It's really good and fun. I've read several books by Stephenson, including the complete Baroque Cycle, and I think Cryptonomicon is his best work. |

Cryptonomicon's great. Co-incidentally, I'm currently reading Diamond Age. Totally different, practically a Fantasy (in a sci-fi setting), still very cool. Just finished Starfish, by Peter Watts. Really incredible hard sci-fi, with wierd but totally plausible ideas and good, but rather... traumatised characters. "Whenever I find my will to live becoming too strong, I read Peter Watts."
—James Nicoll It was great though! Especially for an impulse read. |

Stephenson is pretty cool, though he does tend to write huge tomes rather than just books. If the Baroque cycle were just split into 6 books, not three, it'd be much easier to get through it.
Still like him, though. Cryptonomicon!

I'm breezing through the Honor Harrington series by David Weber. They're not as good as Forester's Hornblower saga, but they're still fun reads.

I just got Confessions of a Crap Artist out of the library, but I haven't started reading it yet. I did just read a Philip K. Dick short story, though, called Human Is.
Is The Transmigration of Timothy Archer good? Anything like The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch?

I just reread a neat short story called The Last of the Masters, about an Anarchist League which patrols a future world devoid of government to amke sure nobody forms governments...gotta love Philip K. Dick. |

Stephenson is good stuff, I've only read Snow Crash but I have Diamond Age and Anathem sitting on my shelf.
Right now I am reading A Storm of Swords (Song of Ice and Fire series, book 3) by George R.R. Martin.
