Command me!

I will read the first book which is suggested in this post's comments section.

So long as I've not read it already, and I can get hold of a copy. Gakked from lnr. Feel free to suggest more.

As admittedly posted with LNR, The Time Traveller's Wife is fab... But a long term favourite, (and given that you're relatively geeky you've almost definitely read it already but hey) try The Sparrow (jesuits in spaaaaaaace) by Mary Doria Russell - one of the best novels in the world ever.

No, I've never heard of it. But ooh! That sounds really cool. It's missed this amazon order, but it's jumped to the top of my next ;)

The Sparrow is terribly wonderful, it's scifi but essentially is about the nature of faith and humanity, I cried A LOT. Do grab it if you get a chance, or you could just borrow it from me, I also have the follow-up Children of God.

It is really cool; I agree.
