Well, my most recent ebook checkout was The DaVinci Code, something I never would have spent money on. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't particularly good, either - I'm really not sure why it was so popular, and it only took me a couple of hours to read. Fluff-fiction.
There are a few things I really want to read that they have, but there's a waiting list, so I had to put them on hold.
We're stuck in a bloody snowglobe.
Obligatory recommendation of Foucault's Pendulum for people who found Da Vinci code boring and/or stupid
In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.

You hear that Dutch capitalist pigs!?
I could have had class. I could have been a contender.
I could have been somebody. Instead of a bum
Which is what I am
I aim at the stars
But sometimes I hit London
