Hey, I'm working on something similar since a few months, basically several of my own quant models for analyzing and valuating large amounts of equities (also programmed with Excel/VBA). I will send you a PM with my msn and email, maybe we can talk a bit?

I have. I got that book as a present some years ago, and wasn't very enthusiastic about it at first. "Whoa, it's about the war. What do I care? It'll be boring as hell for sure." Something like that.
After I read just a few pages my mind changed quickly, I finished the book in a day and a half, and absolutely loved it. Not my all time favorite, but a great one for sure.

So far the best i have read ...

The possibility that Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun did not commit suicide in 1945, but rather survived to perpetuate the Third Reich into modern times, has long intrigued historians and novelists alike. In this taut, fast-paced novel, the evidence rests on a Hitler-style painting of a building not constructed until 1952, a blueprint of an enormous underground bunker supposedly built by slave laborers in the final days of the war, and the activities of an elderly German woman called ``The Merry Widow,'' reputed to be Braun herself. The plot is Wallace at his best, as the line between fact and fiction blurs, and the reader begins to believe. Marcia R. Hoffman, M.L.S., American Hoechst Corp., Somerville, N.J.

I will read it in french soon

Albert Camus "The Guest" does it for me

Also, "1984" is a book you read in 9th/10th grade?
Anyways, it was one of the first books that got me
into reading.

I dunno, I'm an Orwell fan for what he did with
"Animal Farm" (a strong criticism against the Stalin
era).

Also, impressed with a previous mention of Hunter S. Thompson
(Fear and Loathing).

Quicksilver was kinda dull :/

So far, Cryptonomicon is pretty good though.

Haven't read Snow Crash yet either - That's next on my list.
