I think I first read The Count of Monte Cristo in middle school. Still one of my all-time favorites. If you like gripping plot-driven historical fiction, I can't recommend Dorothy Dunnett enough. The Lymond Chronicles are the best books I've ever read.

Zotero is what you want. Integrates smoothly into a research workflow. Great for managing research materials of all kinds. Powerful search and tagging features. Adding sources is quick and easy and it works hand in glove with lots of research databases. Also interoperates with Word or OpenOffice to manage citations and biblographies.
