Stuff I read to relax:

All Tomorrow's Parties by William Gibson.

Not his best work, but William Gibson is the cyberpunk master.

Generation X by Douglas Coupland.

This is perhaps my most favorite book of all time. Douglas Coupland's style is beautiful, the story is compelling and I am a BIG fan.

Microserfs by >Douglas Coupland.

I tore through this baby in one sitting. Not only hilarious, but it is a must read for people interested in the computer (software) industry.

High Fidelity by Nick Hornby.

This brilliantly funny novel describes in perfect detail the male mind (OK, my male mind, anyway).

About a Boy by Nick Hornby.

Absolutely fantastic. What's cooler than pretending to have a kid just to pick up single mothers? Nick Hornby RULES!

Fever Pitch by Nick Hornby.

You must be a soccer fan to appreciate this one....

The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan.

Fantastic epic fantasy....

Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition Player's Handbook

Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition Dungeon Master's Guide

Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition Monster Manual

Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition Module: The Sunless Citadel

Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition Module: The Forge of Fury

And, if you're going to talk about fantasy, you have to include D&D. I know it's a bit geeky, but it's fun. Even if I haven't played in a while...
