    I just had a friend convince me that I needed to read the Horry Potter series.

    I went through all five books in no time flat and now I have to wait a year before book six comes out. Grrrr...

    The 2003 Updated Intelligent Investor. One of the best books ever written, though I don't particularly like Jason Zweig's commentary. Written by the father of modern investing, Benjamin Graham.

    I'd reading Glory by Nabokov. I also have the Qu'ran sitting next to my bed, but I guess I can't say I'm really reading it right now.

    Dune: The Butlerian Jihad (by Frank Herbert's less-talented, simple-minded son, Brian)

    Take the Terminator franchise, replace the name "Skynet" with "Omnius," throw in a few characters with famous Dune last names (Harkonnen, Atreides, etc.), and you have this book. Average at best (but entertaining). Someone please tell Brian that just because his father was a genius, it doesn't make him one... no matter how many Dune novels he writes...

    I also recently finished Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson. Pretty damn good, but not up to the pure genius level of his earlier work, Snow Crash.
