Give Me A Break by John Stossel; Interesting new views on the US gov and businesses.

Kurt Vonnegut, Isaac Asimov, all good books. I'll give some more reading ideas later, but those are what popped into mind. Always wanted to read Atlas Shrugged, haven't, *adds to todo list* (Brandon, can't you please put it on your todo list and tell me how it is, can you? pleeease .)
There is a series about King Arthur, with one of the titles "The Winter King", "Exlacibur"...really great series, written by Brenard Cornwell. Not for children though.
