Haven't read anything else by Steinbeck.

Damn, you guys are making me feel stupid. When I read, it's for escapism and entertainment, not intellectual enlightenment! Give me a good scifi trilogy anyday..

Oh, wait:

Windows2000 Server Unleashed
Internetworking Technologies Handbook (Cisco press)
TCP/IP Routing (Cisco press)

 

[SOSTrooper]

Internet For Dummies
Dating For Dummies
and other school books that arent important....

 

[StattlichPassat]

Trying to finish P.J. O'Rourke's 'Eat The Rich'. Next up;

'Slander' -Ann Coulter
'Let Freedom Ring' -Sean Hannity

That'll tide me into New Years considering all the other school-related textbook studying I'll have to do!

Nothing wrong with reading fiction at all - there's some real enlightenment to be found from fiction. I think I'd gain a better appreciation for socialist policies by reading Steinbeck than I would by reading Marx.
