On another note, should not system kill this thread and make a new one?

watch out, that book sucks. I mean, it's exactly the same as P&P, except every once and a while the zombies attack. the zombies don't actually add anything into the storyline.

Yet again, I've abandoned Foundation. Scifi is something I really wanted to get into, but most of it just does not appeal to me.
Moving on to A Clockwork Orange and maybe a Kerouac novel.

Brave New World
I see that a few people are reading Rand. I don't know if her philosophy will completely stick with me, but her books completely revolutionized the way that I look at politics and philosophy.

The Know-It-All by A.J. Jacobs. He's turned into one of my favorite writers.

Actuality, I skipped P&P&Z and went for more history. I just finished Adam, Eve, and the Serpent by Elaine Pagels. Its about how various groups Jews and Early (1st-5th century) Christians interpreted Genesis. Interesting theological debates and discussions over free will, sin, nature, etc.... |

 for clockwork, make sure you read the full version not the shortened american one, makes a big difference if you havent read it before.

The Scarlet Letter
Most difficult thing i've read to date. (i'm a sophmore)
Lots of unnecessary big words it seems. Though it was written in 1850.
