OK, I suppose.

Thanks for the pointer to the reading list. Always interesting to see what people consider to be the top books (or movies, or whatever). I'll have to do a closer count, but I've probably read half of them. I highly recommend the Dick (the story that the movie Bladerunner is based on), and Canticle for Leibowitz is probably my favorite of all of the "oldies".

The best book I've read lately is "Dead Until Dark" which is actually a murder mystery where the protagonist is a woman who overhears other peoples thoughts / feelings and key characters are vampires. The premise is that vampires have recently been recognized and given rights in society, with a scientific mumbo jumbo that they are suffering from a disease ... so bars have 'synthetic blood' and whatnot. It is extremely well-developed, humorous, and an all-around good read.
