--- Quote from: shmokes on January 18, 2005, 11:52:25 am ---The two best books I've read recently are The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon (he won a pulitzer for it - Also the guy who wrote Wonder Boys, the movie with Michael Douglas and Toby McGuire) and The World According to Garp by John Irving.
Also, Life of Pi was an excellent book that was written recently.

Scifi. One of my favorites still is cryptonomicon (huge book) by neal stephenson. I could never really get into the whole The Baroque Cycle series that just came out. but have read the cryptonomicon a couple of times.

Start with the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe.
Then pick up a copy of Rainbow Six.
Then pick up the Dark Tower series by Stephen King.
Harry Potter books are really fun to read, I agree.
There are a series of old books called the Stainless Steel Rat, the Stainless Steel Rat saves the world, etc, those are good too.
