Another Dan Brown one, Angels and Demons, similar to Da Vinci, but better.


Just finshed Brown's "Deception Point" - fucking brill.


Read that one too. Good book. I have one more by him in the book shelf, Digital Fortress, but heard its tripe, so haven't started yet.


I thought Digital Fortress was great!  Da Vinci Code better though.

If you like reading, get into "The wheel of time" by Robert Jordan

Up tp book 11 now, each one fucking long - but they are good.

Think of Lord of the rings, but much better

Agreed i thought Angels and Demons pretty much was the Da Vinci code with a few names and places changed, Digital Fortress is class finished it in a few days proper page turner.

Also the Broker by John Grisham was a quality book imo

I thought Stephen Fry summed up The Da Vinci Code perfectly when he refered to it as 'arse dribble'.  Sorry to be a literary snob like, I just can't help it.

I'd recommend The Plot Against America by Phillip Roth, a fictional account of his childhood in an America that stays out of the Second World War and moves towards Fascism.  So well written you could be forgiven for believing it had actually happened, and with a conclusion that you would never see coming.

Pull names out of a hat and send them a book to read.

Not yet, but I'd recommend 'Soul Crew' by David Jones and Tony Rivers.
