Congratulations!

Two of my favorite (sci-fi) books are from when I was about 16 (the 80's).
Memories by McQuay and Millenium by John Varley.

Sorry, I can't cite anything from the last 25 years. It's very difficult for me
to
find a book I *really* like. Most recently I've been reading musical
biographies,
such as 1970, and a bio about George Harrison. Also earlier this year read an
authorized bio of Gene Roddenberry and Robin Williams. All good for those into
that type of thing.

East of Eden by John Steinbeck is great, but doesn't fit into any of the above
categories. ;)
