Of course being an engineering major I have to read alot of math and science books, and just about anything beats reading about double integration (ugh), except maybe circuit analysis.....speaking of which I think I have homework *sigh*

We all read different books for different reasons. Like what you read and read what you like - that is all that matters. I can see how people can feel Terry Brooks is derivative (because there are a lot of similar threads), but you can still enjoy the story and the characters in and of themselves. I enjoyed the entire series, along with its several follow-ups.
Reading about double integration or circuit analysis sounds absolutely thrilling...I'll take an appointment with the dentist over that, I'm sure.
Actually, your mention of circuit analysis reminded me of one of my favorites. If you're not scared of bad public hype I suggest you pick up L. Ron Hubbard's 'Battlefield Earth'. If you've seen the movie - the book is nothing like it, it is actually enjoyable
. I mention it because there is one portion of the story where the protagonist is attempting to copy a circuit and is getting nowhere...but if you are interested in reading it I won't spoil it by telling you how and why it is so tricky.
