tao: what did you think of "Behold a Pale Horse"? I read it years ago and was highly entertained until 9/10 the way thru when i had to stop reading. I feel like i should go back to finish the ending. enjoyed Chopra's "Jesus" especially the particular attention to his Jewish upbringing and culture. still too much magic for me. Smile

Howie: Love Ayn Rand. read either "Atlas Shrugged" or "Fountainhead" every 5 years when i start to lose faith in humanity. the movies won't touch the book, but a good introduction to the masses... "how do you know so many words?"

and a few contributions from me...

Sci-fi: "Snow Crash" by Neal Stephenson. Not too far in the future with a broke independent hacker and pizza deliveryman, Hiro Protagonist, as the hero with a great 'Metaverse' idea (3d internet). Touches on the story of babel and the Divergent nature of Languages. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_Crash

religious fiction: "To Reign in Hell" by Stephen Brust. Casts Satan as Protagonist in Heaven, pre-earth. Fun Read.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_Reign_in_Hell

Non-Fiction: "Tesla: Man out of Time" by Margaret Cheney. Tesla was a very private mad scientist during the dawn of electricity. http://www.amazon.com/Tesla-Man-Time-Margaret-Cheney/dp/0743215362/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1335955654&sr=1-1

many thanks to wiki who should get my money... amazon already does.
