I once read a serie of books (8 books) called Otherland, and that's about the only books I've ever read except for Dan Browns books, Lord of the rings and Harry Potter, but all those are so common so I have to say Otherland :P

LOL!!!

No, I think its a great book (and yeah, I read it too when I was 16) and has one of the best endings I have read. Keeps you till the end.

Oh yeah, Cryptonomicon was a good one. The WW2 era Shaftoe reminded me of an old friend of mine.

WOOT! Hofstadler RAAAAAAAWKS! Have you read Metamagical Themas? The chapter on self-replicating/referential structures in language is awesome. Hell, we should start a game of Nomic in the inn.
