The Passage

The prologue of the novel (first 250 pages) was amazing, but then the rest of the book is terrible, still recoomanded, just read the first 250 pages and then stop.

Nemo14, I have Crytonomicon on my bookshelf. Gotta read it when I have a nice block of time. From what I hear, it's the ultimate geek novel. :D

Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely. Pretty good read about how irrational behaviour can be predicted and it also shows how even the most rational people are often times irrational. Questions the usefulness of economic models and proposes solutions (I think). Still have to finish it though.

All 3 are very good books in my opinion, Catcher In the Rye is a must read for everyone interested in literature.

I have tried to read this book three times and have never been able to finish it. I didn't finish it this time either but got to a new record with 200 pages. I honestly don't get this book or the genre over all. So far Frodo and his mates have visited 3 homes where they ate, drank and slept alot. In between the house visits they sing and get in trouble. I hate to stop reading a book without finishing, but this is honestly torture for me. I just don't get the hype. To be fair, the swedish translated version I read is supposed to be horrible and translated by a man who later developed a deep seeded hatred for Tolkien fans and even wrote a book about it, claiming Tolkien fans did drugs and had sex orgies among other things at their meetings. Crazy stuff.
