American Gods is a good book, too.
There is a lot of good sci-fi on there. Particularly the William Gibson and Neal Stephenson books.

I'll go back to being a nerd in the corner.

I just finished the Da Vinci Code.... and that was really good. I am reading Angels and Demons now... which is also turning out to be really good.
