In high school I loved the work of Douglas Adams... I read all of the hitchhiker's books. I didn't do a lot of reading in college... i was too busy with college stuff...
But in between college and d-school I've been reading lots of thrillers and mysteries like Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons, State of Fear, and The Historian (which I did not like at all)... but now i'm reading a politics book, The Persian Puzzle.
