So I tried to post a reply before with better explainations, but it logged me out for some reason... here they are in a much quicker fashion:
1. young - Anything Nancy Drew!
2. High School - Douglas Adams' "Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy" four part Trilogy and the Tao of Pooh (winnie the pooh)
3. College - Braitenberg's "Vehicles" and Issac Assimov's I-Robot (read for my undergrad thesis project on robotics)
4. Recent - "What Happy People Know" Puts things in perspective for peopled out in the hustle and bustle of corporate society, social stress, etc.
All of these are fairly fast reads, and none of them heavy, so if you are looking for fun and interesting books, givem a shot
