Need pulp, STAT

Oh, God, the years I spent reading Dragonlance...
Weis and Hickman were the only ones who wrote anything worth a damn in that universe. I thought their "Death Gate Cycle" was pretty good, but my memory's fuzzy on them, since I last read them in high school. The first one's called "Dragon Wing".
If you like the fantasy vein, though, try to track down "The Misenchanted Sword". I read it many years ago, and found it to be a welcome change from the standard tolkien ripoff fantasy world.

I nominate American Gods and Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman.
edit: I wouldn't call them pulpy, but they were definitely enjoyable. Anansi Boys takes place after the events of American Gods, but the two stories are completely independent and share very few characters, so read them in either order.

Neal Stephenson's Diamond Age !
More seriously, Why not anything by Stephen King or Tom Clancy for a simple, non-cerebral entertainment ?

Read Heinlein. Start with "Stranger in a Strange Land". Make sure it's the 1980-something edition.
What school are you at Sneftel? Penn State? UPenn? Temple?
Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield
Robin Hobb:
The Farseer Trilogy
The Liveship Traders Trilogy
