CRYPTONOMICON by Neal Stephenson (hope I spelled this right, I left the book in the car).

I'm re-reading The Stand (I've been going back and forth between it and several other books).

I'm liking it even more the second time than I did the first!

Sorry to disappoint you but the movie isnt as good. That's not saying the movie isnt good but the book draws out such emotion and reaction from you that the movie isnt able to do which is strange considering you're actually seeing the events take place instead of just reading it. Its a true statement to the caliber of Ketchum's writing and the intensity of the novel. I'd still say to check out the movie.
