I usually just read whatever I have to read. There have been some decent books I have read for school. I do however take this class at the end of the year, and I get to read whatever I want.
The two books I have actually liked were A Brief History in Time by Stephen Hawking, and Digital Fortress by Dan Brown.
I'm a slow reader when it comes to books, but when I read Digital Fortress, I have to say, it was the fastest I have ever read 350 pages. Its good if you like Action/hacker/mystery/conspiracy/love stories. It's a little dumbed down for those less computer literate, but its really good none the less.
