A Good Summer Read?

Posted by Cliff on from the fine-novels-for-the-summer-vacation dept.

binaryhead asks: "Well, the semester has just ended, and I have graduated from school! :-) I start my full-time job in a month and want to read a good book in the mean time. Having read Snowcrash, Neuromancer, and most of the hacker biographies, I am trying to find a scifi-geek-hacker book that people like. I might try the new Kevin Mitnick book, but I wanted to see what Slashdot preferred. Thanks."

    Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time"

    He asked for a good summer read, not a good decade read.

    Wow. I disagree with you. Lots of people agree with me.

    I found the characters fascinating and the story fun. Yes, it was long...but I've never been scared of big books.

    Actually, you'd be surprised how many people agree with the parent (and hence disagree with you). Though I'm not sure what that proves exactly,,,
