Man, we *were* seperated at birth <s> I was actually going to suggest that particular book.
Two others that I think would appeal to a lot of folks here are "The Diamond Age" (also Stephenson) and "The Difference Engine" ( Gibson )
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Difference_Enginehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Diamond_Age>Here's a suggestion. If you haven't already, try
Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson. Stephenson is a guy who really understands what he's writing about. Not taking anything away from Dan Brown, but I'd say Cryptonomicon is taking it up another level. I feel safe in saying that Charles H. would agree with me.

>>I read both of those as well. I've read all of Dan Brown's books. Great author.

>>>Looks like a good book from what I read on Wikipedia. I'll read it. Two books I like are "Digital Fortress" and "Deception Point" both by Dan Brown.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
