Wise choices, the both of you.  I'm surprised however, that with such a literate crowd, noone is currently reading the perpetual classic "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" (unabridged, naturally" or even "The Silmarillion" or any more of the works by the Grandmaster himself, JRR Tolkien.  I reread it every couple of years myself.

Just got Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson. Looks like fun.


It definitely is. I'd also recommend Snow Crash, and really any of his other work.

Status: offline 		I'm currently in the middle of Man's Search For Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl. I'm very surprised I haven't come to it before, it being so famous and well-regarded. It's a fascinating read, from his personal experiences in concentration camps to explaining logotherapy. I'm at a point in my life where it's pretty helpful as well.

My Amazon Vine books are supposed to come in tomorrow, I'm getting The Night of the Gun: A Reporter Investigates the Darkest Story of his Life--His Own by David Carr, a reporter actually writes his memoir and drug addiction like he would a news story- for every part of his life he interviews people (including ex-lovers), looks through records and finds out his memory was faulty in a lot of places. I've heard great things and I can't wait. I'm also getting The Whiskey Rebels by David Liss, which is apparently a mystery/thriller set in America a few years after the Revolution, the protagonist being one of Washington's ex-spies. Oh, and for my "guilty pleasure" I'm going to start the first of Nalini Singh's paranormal series too. :)

I really wasn't sure I'd care for it, a good friend urged me to try it and I can't put it down.

Next will be Careless in Red by Elizabeth George and after that probably something by Jonathon Kellerman (these are not counting the work books I always have open)

edited to fix the rogue caps.
