Childhood’s End, Arthur C. Clarke
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, Philip K. Dick
The Mists of Avalon, Marion Zimmer Bradley - disliked, but finished.
Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury

Rendezvous with Rama, Arthur C. Clarke - one of the first of the Big Dumb Object novels.
Ringworld, Larry Niven - a better BDO novel
Rogue Moon, Algis Budrys

Web geek (programming/UI) wanted

My company is looking for an experienced web programmer. Basically, the UI could use expert attention. It's not a sexy AJAX project,
nor will it be seen by millions of people, but it will help manage the flow of billions of dollars.
