I think im going to pick this book up it sounds interesting.

its really good. and if i may, i will suggest you also pick up foucaults pendulum. In my opinion, it is a must read as mentioned before by me.

Cliche alert!

It's all about Tolkien for me. My favorite author. How could there be any other? The Silmarillion, The Hobbit and The Lord Of The Rings. All totally re-readable for ever and ever.

The only other writer I care about enoguh to re-read his books is Hunter S. Thompson.

I'm a real fan of Lawrence Lessig's works, but find him to be a bit stuffy at times. However, if you haven't read Free Culture, you are missing one of the most important thought books to come out in the last decade.

I tried reading the Island Of The Day Before by the same author - getting to page 100 felt like I had read 1000 pages. I couldn't read on after that and I remember my mum not letting me watch The Name Of The Rose when I was younger. I have heard that Foucault's Pendulum is a pretty damn good book though. I wouldn't recommend The Island Of The Day Before though.

...I found I like stuff from a couple of Doug's - Adams and Gibson...

If it's factual/theoretical books were talking about... I really enjoyed reading a borrowed copy of 'Fermat's Last Theorem' about 8 months ago, this should appeal to the puzzlers in this forum, the author (Simon Singh) has subsequently written another book called 'The Code Book' which is on my books-to-read list, has anyone in this forum read it?
Also anything by Michio Kaku is quite thought provoking if you like physics and are not a boffin, I would give you titles but he has released some of his books under different titles in the USA/UK.

Simon Singh? Both those "math" books are quite interesting... If you like codes, I also recommend the novel: Cryptonomicon, by Neal Stephenson... good stuff!

Neal Stephenson is one of those authors I have been meaning to get around to I will check out 'Cryptonomicon'.

I have The Lost Symbol at home, and still haven't got around to reading it. I think I might read it when I've finished with my current book
