I've been looking for some MP3s that girl and HR told me to search for. Some of these may be hard to find.. *looks at list and rubs chin* Nevertheless, seeing as I'm the one without a job..
I'm thinking of going down to the library to pick up some books. After finishing those last two novels (very quick reads I might add), I've got a hankering for some more literature. Any suggestions?

For Sci-Fi, I'd personally recommend anything by Neil Stephenson or Bruce Sterling, as well as the earlier works of William Gibson. If you want more fantasy, Guy Gavriel Kay (who lives in Toronto, I think) has some excellent books - I haven't read a bad one yet.
(Ursala (sp?) K. LeGuin is also an excellent sci-fi bet.)
Or were you looking for non-sci-fi/fantasy type books?

Some other suggestions:
Joe Haldeman - The Forever War
Frank Herbert - Dune (the others aren't so great)
Almost anything by Heinlein, but especially Starship Troopers (the film was not worthy. I'm not sure if you've read it, although I'm thinking you have).
Douglas Adams - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (cult sci-fi humor)
For non-fiction : Anything by James Gleick (Genius, Faster) but I would really suggest Chaos. Any Feynman book (Surely You're Joking... is a good start). Ooh, and Carl Sagan's The Demon-Haunted World....

If you're feeling bold enough to move away from Science Fiction and Science Fact..
Umberto Eco - Foucault's Pendulum
Hunter S. Thompson - any of his "collected works" type books, not to mention Fear and Loathing...
