Naa, I'm not joking. Catcher in the Rye was kind of boring, and I couldn't identify with the main character.
Tom Clancy is just ... I dunno. I'm not into all the political war themes that he has going on.

Anyone else have some books that they have enjoyed reading? Maybe someone like to add a whole list of books that are geared for the aquarium trade?

All the dune books by frank herbert~and all the "newer" dune books written by his son brian herbert and kevin anderson , I have them all. Reef by scubazoo is an awesome coffee table book , alot of pictures and some exerpts from the diver/photograpers themselves.Most of the proceeds go to the preservation of the worlds largest reefs.Just a very cool, informative book.
