I just recently read Cryptonomicon and I think it was excellent. Check it out. [/ QUOTE ] Thanks, picked it up yesterday and am already reading that instead of studying for finals! |

If you like Borges, you might like Italo Calvino. The short story collections Cosmicomics, Numbers in the Dark, and t zero might remind you most of Borges, though my favorites are the novels The Baron in the Trees and If on a Winter's Night a Traveller. [/ QUOTE ] Checked out that link and read a bit of Cosmicomics. It seemed very much up my alley and I already have ordered it. Thanks. |

A Game of Thrones was a good pick. I would say start with In Cold Blood, but that's just because I liked it so much. [/ QUOTE ] A Game of Thrones looks to be a good pick but I'll have to back burner it for a while. I ordered In Cold Blood. -JP |

The guy was a fantastic writer. Cosmicomics was tremendously imaginative and fun. |
