    Good one on string theory:
    The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene
    Non-technical, and also covers some of quantum theory and relativity.

    As for fiction, much too numerous, though I did love the Ender's Game series[by Orson Scott Card] (would love to read that again, been trying to for a few years now, but I keep spending on other books!). Also:

    This Alien Shore (can't remember who by)
    The Wiz Biz (unitary of Wizard's Bane & the Wizardry Compiled), the Wizardry Cursed, The Wizardry Consulted, and the Wizardry Quested by Rick Cook
    and hundreds (maybe soon thousands(yeah right)) more.
    Preliminary operational tests were inconclusive (the dang thing blew up)

    i'd have to say that my favorite all time book has to be the childeren of the earth series by: jean auel. as far as computer books go right now i'm reading hackers: heroes of the computer revolution by Steaven Levy. so far it's the best computer non-fiction i've read.

    Depends upon which type of computer books you would like to read.

    Just for fun - Linus Torvalds
    Cuckoo's Egg - Clifford Stoll

    Those are two, very entertaining computer books.

    Cuckoo's Egg, now that was a fun book to read. Wish there were more computer/hacking books like that one. Gives a good example of a hacker too, instead of the normally negative ones.

    I liked the book "Wiseguy" that was the basis for GoodFellas. The book is waaaaay better than the movie.
