I strongly reccomend The Years of Rice and Salt and Digital Fortress. The Years of Rice and Salt is writen by Kim Stanley Robbinson and is an alternative history of what would happen if 99% of Europe died in the Black Death. Digital Fortress is a fiction novel about a "unbreakable algorithm."

This blog is a great idea Eric! Think they'll make a movie of Brown's book? I'll be sure to add my books as soon as I get a chance. I'll spread the word to all my friends at school! Keep on reading!

Thanks for reading the blog, however Digital Fortress probably won't make a movie

A book I recently read that I really enjoyed was WATER FOR ELEPHANTS by Sara Gruen. I really enjoyed the view point of the older gentlemen in the book. If you have a chance you should give it a read, it is a quick read. From Jan (I am new to this)

I just read a book I really enjoyed called, Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. I really liked the voice of the old man in the book. It was an interesting, quick read. Jan (Eric told me about his site)

Eric, though you haven't posted it, I know you're a fan of sort of social commentary books and a bit of science fiction. I think, perhaps, Kurt Vonnegut might be an author you'd like-give it a try when you get a chance and let me know (maybe Cat's Cradle).
