frankly I would love an in depth long winded geeky response on the topic.

Yep, it is The Baroque Cycle, by Neal Stephenson. Consists of three epic novels: Quicksilver, The Confusion, and The System of the World. They have become my favorite books of all time. The second one, particularly, it wall-to-wall action, intelligence, and excitement. First book starts a little slow, but if you can keep at it it is VERY rewarding.

Jeff likes saying wall-to-wall.

Yes, it was The Alienist: A Novel by Caleb Carr. Once I finish reading the junk I've been messing around with for months I'm going to pick it up.I like th book recommendations and as I've mentioned before The Time Traveler's Wife is a truly wonderful read. It should be required for female geeks.

remember those other 2 covers that are for the "adults" and "children"? lame lame lame. why do we need different covers with the same stuff in it so the older people dont feel embarrassed reading the HP books? Everybody reads them! except me and a few others.
