Re: OT: Read a book!
Hmmm...
Novels I can really remember enjoying:
Damacus Gate--by some guy named Stone
Byzantium--by Stephen Lawhead
At Swim Two Birds--by...whathisname (forgot)
Bagdad Without a Map--Tony Horwitz (not a novel)
Napoleon of Notting Hill--GK Chesterton
Moon is a Harsh Mistress--Heinlein
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkabad--only one I've read. Read the whole thing Last night. Not too shabby.
The Stand--Stephen King
All Dorothy Sayers mysteries featuring Lord Peter Wimsey
Infinite Jest--David Foster Wallace (his first novel was also kinda fun)
Foucault's Pendulum--Umberto Eco
Reigen--Arthur Schnitzler (a play)
Dunno...that's a good starting list for me.
