Heh heh.
I have to second that - it’s a fun book (especially after having taken a couple medieval history classes, I find other people’s theories about the templars to be lots of fun to read about).
More stuff: ‘Good Omens’ by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett is a brilliant satire on the apocalypse.
‘The Children of Hurin’ is a must-read for any hardcore Tolkien fan (especially those who have read the Silmarillion, or anyone at all who’s ever read the Kalevala). Although Tolkien himself didn’t actually write it, it definitely has the same ‘feel’ as the rest of his books, and draws more heavily on mythology than almost any other fantasy I’ve read.
The ‘Ender’s Game’ series by Orson Scott Card is great, especially the ‘Ender’s Shadow’ half of it.
‘Snow Crash’ by Neal Stephenson is classic cyberpunk. Anyone who knows much about computers, the internet, or MMORPG’s would probably appreciate it. Oh, and did I mention that Scientologists are essentially some of the bad guys?
And I always like classic mythology or literature, ie, Beowulf, The Kalevala, Epic of Gilgamesh, Canterbury Tales, The Song of Roland, Dante, and pretty much anything else up to (and including) Shakespeare.
And one last piece of advice: No matter how good ‘No Country For Old Men’ might have been, do NOT read ‘The Road’ by Cormack McCarthy - it’s the most depressing book I have ever read (it makes stuff like 1984, Brave New World, Lord of the Flies, The Giver, or any other ‘depressing’ or dystopian literature I’ve read look happy and uplifting by comparison).
