I'm getting Da Vinci Code (still haven't read it, and figured I'd give it a try)

 

[meltdown75]

what kind of books do you like?

 

[Kenazo]

I'm up for almost anything. Not huge into sci fi or fantasy though.

 

[TheInvincibleMustard]

Jared Diamond Guns, Germs, and Steel

 

[Dragnov]

Have you read the official geek book Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow?

 

[UglyCasanova]

Alas Babylon - awesome book about people surviving a nuclear holocaust.

I just picked up Stephen Mithcell's recent translation of Gilgamesh based on a good review, but haven't had a chance to read it yet myself.

Reefer Madness is a good read, if a bit hacked together.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Critique of Pure Reason and Principia Ethica come to mind . . ..

 

[mundane]

Jeff Long's The Descent or Year Zero. Too bad you're not big on sci-fi, I'd recommend giving Vernor Vinge a try ...

 

[DainBramaged]

Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace
