btw, it doesn't have to be novels, I just happen to like to escape to a make-believe world once in awhile.

Read a lot of Spiderman comics when i was i kid. Very entertaining! I'm currently reading The Rule Of Four by Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason but i want to know what to read next so keep the lists coming! I heard Memoirs of a Geisha was good but its kinda of a girly book... is it? I know Harry Potter books are fun to read but since its a whole series that's a lot of time I gotta invest.

From what i can remember... here's my list in no particular order:

1. Animal farm (George Orwell)
2. 1984 (George Orwell)
3. The Da Vince Code (Dan Brown)
4. The Age of Spiritual Machines (Ray Kurzweil)

Nope I haven't read any of those yet. But they all came highly recommended by my friends and profs back at UofT. I just have never gotten around to reading them yet. Thank you for your recommendation as well. I'll keep it in mind. :)
