   I'm reading the "Band of Brothers" by Stephen Ambrose even though I've watched the series too many times. There's always pieces of the story they leave out of a movie or show but you can find it in the book.

   A Brief History of Time
   by Stephen Hawking.
   Let's bypass the questions asking why a 16 year old is reading such an advanced book.

   The next time they give you all that civic bullshit about voting,
   keep in mind that Hitler was elected in a full, free democratic election

   Get over yourself, I had to read A Brief History of Time in high school. I also had to walk there uphill both ways in the snow using socks for gloves.

    I raid the science section of Chapters every month, and they have a lot of really good books.

    @almost6mexican what kind of high school reads that book? It is meant for university students studying quantum physics. Whenever I try and explain wormholes, time travel, dark matter, and the multiverse theory to kids at my high school, they just blank out and tell me to use smaller words...
    Dumb asses.

    @Riverside216: Actually Hawking wrote this books with the aim to explain quantum physics etc. to a wider audience of "normal" people. They are no study material and only scratch the surface of these topics. But nevertheless a really good read if you are interested in science.

    @mike80: I don't know if Tom Cruise read it but as far as I know Hawking himself never excluded the existence of a god. You don't have to be scientologist or atheist to enjoy science.

    Still reading Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein. Recently I've read a collection of Asimov's short stories and the complete Sherlock Holmes.

    I would recommend anything from the Flashman series by George McDonald Fraser - hilarious. Also Hitchhikers Guide series by Adams.

    currently i am reading "Always Looking Up" by Michael J. Fox and after I get done with that I have "The Yankee Years" by Joe Torre sitting on my desk waiting. Hopefully I will have both of those read by the time Dan Brown's new book comes out in September.

    I have read many books but the one most recent was Malcolm X. Crazy book, recommend it if you want to see the other side of the Civil Rights movement.
