Thirteen, and with wisdom beyond my years! ;-)
Whaaa... I can't believe you are thirteen Zig. Way to ruin the Bell curve ;) I knew you were wise beyond your years but I thought you were sixteen or so! I guess I shouldn't have been promoting Pulp Fiction in your favourite movies thread :P
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, CHERISH IT!

This thread got derailed pretty quickly and I am partially responsible, so:
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
Still funny.

The Stone Angel by Margaret Laurence (had to look that last name up)
Incredibly boring book about a "handsome" old woman who gets lost in a park or something, forced upon us by our English teacher for no other reason than it's Canadian, one would have to assume, as no teenager could possibly like it.
I Am Jackie Chan: My Life in Action by Jackie Chan
Thoroughly entertaining!

I just reread the Bourne trilogy for the first time in years.
The Bourne Identity-Robert Ludlum
Truly one of the great spy novels, this work is a genius premise that is followed by 600+ pages of extreme labyrinth.
The Bourne Supremacy-
A worthy companion to the first book that takes a bit longer to get because of its less immediate plot nature, this book deals more with the psychological stress of being Jason Bourne.
The Bourne Ultimatum-
The writing takes a bit of a nosedive, as the plot becomes very tedious at times, but all in all there's just this constant feeling of: "It's finally going to end after over 1500 pages of mind numbingly complicated plot twists so I must finish!!!"
also The Bourne Legacy-Eric Van Lustbader
Continuation novel that aside from a few mistakes, incredibly wrong plot elements, mistakes that Jason Bourne would never make, character age impossibility, and a few implausible elements came up as a pretty enjoyable read.
BTW the Bourne books have NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH THE MOVIES. Aside from a guy named Jason Bourne who had amnesia and used to have something to do with the CIA. (The actual backstory goes all the way back to Vietnam and the plot deals with international terrorism, CIA black ops in the Cold War, secret Vietnam directives, and Carlos the Jackal.) The books are incredibly human and realistic. Even for a spy novel enthusiast, the first two have to rank amongst the best of the genre, and I'd even put Identity amongst the great literature.
Tagline: "If you want to make your head hurt from plot twists read the Bourne trilogy."
Mental note: "I will not reread the 2001 sequels. I will not reread the 2001 sequels."

I thought it was okay. Took me more concentration to get through it than 2001. It's really 2061 and 3001 that get into the "what the hell did I just read" category.

Love that book!
Just watched Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe yesterday, which made me dig out my signed copy of that book to start reading it again. An updated second edition would be incredible.
