The Cool, the not so Cool, and the just plain not Cool

This is my list of the cool, the not so cool, and the just plain not cool. This is what I think:
THE COOL: Books, Computing, Science, Math, Reading, The Internet, Blogging, Electronics, customised iGoogle, and a bunch more that I cannot be bothered naming.
THE NOT SO COOL: The new layout of Microsoft Office, Dial-Up Internet connections, stuff that doesn't work, Cutting down trees to make paper, the Nazi regime, and so much else.
THE JUST PLAIN NOT COOL: Poverty, Smoking, Disease, and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots more that I can't even be bothered thinking about because they are not cool.

BOOKS!!!

As it may or may not say in my profile, I love to read. I haven't been reading as much lately, but I still love it. I have read so many books that I have a LOT of favourite authors. Some of my Teen/Junior fiction authors include: Garth Nix, C.S. Lewis, Christopher Paolini, Anthony Horowitz, Eoin Colfer, William Nicholson, Charlie Higson, Emily Rodda, James Patterson, John Flannagan, J.R.R. Tolkien and lots lots more. Please note that these are NOT in any particular order, or in any order at all. Now for some of my favourite Adult fiction authors: Dan Brown, Chris Ryan, I am reading a good book by Andrew Gross, and I cannot think of any other Adult fiction authors right now. But these are just some of the authors that I like and/or have recently read a book by, and I hope this proves that I absolutely love reading.

Dan Brown and stuff

Have you ever read any Dan Brown books? If you haven't, you should definitely try them! They are really good books and full of action, mystery, puzzles (and maybe a bit of romance). I am currently reading The Da Vinci Code for the 3rd time, and I am still enjoying it. He has written the Robert Langdon series, which consists of Angels and Demons, The Da Vinci Code, and soon to be released, The Solomon Key (I have been waiting for it for ages, and I hope it comes out soon). He has also written two stand-alone novels, which are Digital Fortress and Deception Point.
(Off Topic) You should all check out one of the blogs that I follow called "Green Grass and Rainbows". That Blogger has some really good points and views, same with "dragonrider" and "The Unknown Blog".
