Also, I would recommend "The Madonna List" by Max Foran (who was and may still be a U of C prof) for those who liked "The DaVinci Code".
Awesome dude, Max Foran was my favourite prof at UofC.

I am curently reading Lamb: The Gospel According To Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal

This is a really entertaining read and is a parity of the Gospels and religion.

I just finished Stephen King's 'The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger', book one in his Dark Tower series. I really enjoyed it and will be continuing on with the other books.

Isn't he the 500 year old Canadian Studies prof? Or am I thinking of someone else?

I just powered through Without Fear or Favour by Jack Tinsley. It's basically all stories from his time as a Winnipeg cop. It's a pretty easy read, but you'll get hit with a whole range of emotions in it...great book.

That's the guy. More like 500 years worth of awesome stories/experiences/ideas.

Ah. Well as of the beginning of the year, I think he's still teaching. I've heard a lot of good things about him...maybe I'll take a class with him one of these days.
