I actually just finished my first book. "The Return" by Bently Little. I have never been into reading much but finishing this book was enjoyable. I'd recomend it to anyone.

Now I am starting a book by Greg Bear called "Dead Lines".

OK I'm scared now. You're back in school and reading books, we don't do that der kind of stuff in Iowa! :p

All of Dan Brown's books are amazing. If any of you can give recomendations on similar books, I would love you long time.

Someone mentioned to me an author similiar to Dan Brown, but now I can remember who it is. I'll look into it and let you know. He does have a new book he is working on that will be about The Masons, should be very interesting!! :)

Steven Jay Gould, Michio Kaku, Stephen Hawking, Richard Dawkins and Carl Sagan.

Steven Jay Gould - "Wonderful Life", "Full House", and "A Dinosaur In A Haystack"(Mostly on Darwinian Evolution)

Richard Dawkins - "The Selfish Gene", "A Devil's Champlain", and "Unweaving The Rainbow"(Mostly philosophical views on biological systems)

Jared Diamond - "Guns, Germs, Steel", "Collapse", and "The Third Chimpanzee"(Mostly about the evolution and collapse of various societies)

Carl Sagan - "The Dragons Of Eden", "The Demon Haunted World", "Shadows Of Forgotten Ancestors", and "Billions And Billions"(About Evolution, critical thinking, scientific method, etc)

Michael Talbot - "The Holographic Universe"(This is kind of a alternate view on everything based upon theory from David Bohm and Karl Pribram, I've read this book an easy 50-60 times, it's probably the most thought provoking book ever written)

Kenneth R. Miller - "Finding Darwins God"(about the Creation/Evolution argument with a christian bias, It's an excellent book regardless of which side you are on)

Just wanted to update those who care, but I found out that Dan Brown's next book is being released in 2006 (exact date unknown yet), and the title is The Solomon Key. You can sign up on Amazon.com and it will e-mail you when the book becomes available for pre-order. I'm so excited!!!! :D

Yes, I'm a nerd sometimes.... :rolleyes:

If you like CIA/Goverment books I highly recomend Vince Flynn. I just started reading his books last month and they are easly some of the best I have ever read.
