13th Gen: Abort, Retry, Ignore, Fail?'; row_arr[1]=' Neil Howe & William Strauss '; row_arr[2]=' I was impressed by Howe and Strauss\' thoeries about generations in American hisroty so I decided to read thier work about my \"Generation X\". Growing up in the aftermath of the devestation of traditional culutre following the 60\'s and 70\'s revolutions and the 80\'s realignment of wealth and benefits from the young to the old,my peers are cynical and the most economicaly disadvantaged. This book puts a lot of points together and draws conclustions that I hadn\'t considered before.'; table_arr[1] = row_arr; row_arr = new Array();row_arr[0]='

The Fourth Turning'; row_arr[1]=' William Strauss & Neil Howe'; row_arr[2]=' Strauss and Howe explain their theory that Anglo-American history has a decernable pattern that has repeated several times and that people born in such a time have a genrational archtype that bothe influcence s and is influenced by circumstances of history. The patern of high-spirtitual awakening-decline-crisis repeats over and over througfhout history and shapes (and is shaped by) people who experience the same events differently as they are at different stages of life. The book, published in 1997, seems to predict a major crisis that will re-align American society somewhere around 2005. I think this was dead-on - we are in the middle of a crisis now.'; table_arr[2] = row_arr; row_arr = new Array();row_arr[0]='

Final Theory: A Novel'; row_arr[1]=' Mark Alpert '; row_arr[2]=' A Science-Thriller? Yes, that is what this book is in essence. In the novel, Einstein had discovered the secrets of the so-called \"theory of everything\" which explains both relativity and quantum mechanics in one theory. Knowing that this knowlege could be misused, he hid the secret with only a few of his trusted fellow scientists. Now someone has discovered the secret and is trying to hunt down the secret. The hero of the story is a science historian who is chased by both a ruthless partiot-act U.S. government who believes he must not divulge the secret he has learned and a ruthless assasin, bent on recovering the secret at nearly any cost. The pacing of the novel is very good and reminds one of Michael Crichton. The science is interesting and somewhat thought provoking. However, at times, the author takes us to places we don;t want to go and makes the adventure a little too unpleasant. This is the author\'s fist novel, and I will definately look for his next books in the hope that he improves his craft. Alpert certainly has the potential.

The Ultimate Hitchhiker\'s Guide (The Hitchhiker\'s Guide to the Galaxy; The Restaurant at the End of the Universe; Life, the Universe and Everything; So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish; and Mostly Harmless)'; row_arr[1]=' Douglas Adams'; row_arr[2]=' OK - This was the only missing piece to earn my full nerd credentials and it\'s overdue! I\'ve been meaning to read the Hitchhiker\'s Guide since 4th grade when my friends were reading it. I\'ve heard about it, seen the TV mini-series, the new movie and even heard some of the radio recordings. Now, I am reading the classic sci-fi comedy at last - and I am really enjoying it. It is so funny in that uniquely Britiah way. I am having a great time reading these novels. Although the original Hitchhiker\'s Guide is by far the best of these novels.'; table_arr[7] = row_arr; row_arr = new Array();row_arr[0]='

Baudolino '; row_arr[1]=' Umberto Eco'; row_arr[2]=' This was my first time reading Eco. I must say that I really enjoyed the begining of this novel set in medieval Europe and described with a close attention to detail. The main character Baudolino is a consumate liar who is lucky enough to be adopted by Fredrick Barborrosa - the Holy Roman Emperor. Baudolino had adventures in France, Italy and Germany before setting off for the Holy Land and beyond - in search of the fabled kingdom of Prester John. The later part of the book rather dragged on as Baudolino and his comapinions spent time with the heretics who were the denisens of Christian mythology - people with their heads in thier chests, ones with one large foot and ones with enormous ears. The book is full of references to other works some overt and others very subtle - I am sure I missed a few as my knowlege of medieivel literature is not great. I know far more about the Philosophy and Theology of the time and there were plently of references to these - often humorous that I did get and enjoy however. An enjoyable read overall, but this has stimulated my intererest in reading more Eco soon.'; table_arr[8] = row_arr; row_arr = new Array();row_arr[0]='
