Ok, so there's a TV and a game thread - now, what is the last (or best, surprise me!) book you read?
I just finished Kushiel's Mercy by Jacqueline Carey, very very entertaining. I'm in the middle of House of Grass by Mark Z. Danielewski and Serpent Bride by Sara Douglass
I read a lot, mostly fantasy//fiction, but I'm flexible.

House of Leaves - I *always* call it House of Grass....Leaves of Grass....eh, it's 1am, I'll blame it on sleep dep!
I actually liked Angels & Demons *better* than Da Vinci Code...let me know what you think.

My favorite book is Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut. I just finished reading for about the hundredth time. I've also been re-reading books I was forced to read in high school. Animal Farm by Orwell, Alice in Wonderland by Carol and Of Mice and Men. It's amazing what you see in these when you can actually appreciate them. Other than that I just started reading The Theory of Everything by Stephen Hawking.

The last two books I read were Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, and East of Eden by John Steinbeck. Both were amazing. Now I'm reading Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson, and I love it. 20 pages in and he's already talking about the Riemann Zeta Theorem. =D All right.
edit: ^^ Props on the Vonnegut, but I prefer Cat's Cradle.
