I only read Sphere here, and I found it pretty bad for Crichton.

Both Sphere and It are incredibly good. Though I will admit neither is the best by their particular authors.

Voted Cat's Cradle, of course. I can't help but wonder how many of the Kama Sutra's voters have actually read it.

You mean read Kama Sutra, right? I agree.

If you think the Kama Sutre is totally about sex then you are all wrong!
There is so much historic Hindi-Asian culture in there it's amazing really. The sexual suggestions are just a by product of the culture that's been documented, take that part out and you have a book that's detailed in pre-westernisation spiritual cultures..........a gifted insight into the past of a colourful civilisation.
