Dan Brown - Angels & Demons, i just started and so far its interesting, alltho the set of of the story really has a lot of similarities as Da Vinci Code (murder, victim's daughter and a secret research).
It's not really good, it's one of the five best books to come out of America in the 20th Century. Buy it...read it. Nuff' said. :geek:0 -

How is that? I've toyed with picking it up myself a few times, but it looks pretty hefty and time for reading can be hard to come by sometimes.
Right now, I'm reading:
Jim Butcher- Blood Rites0 -
just finished reading "lullaby" by chuck palahniuk (fight club, choke) ... pretty good read... especially towards the end
now i need a recommendation for something new! (choosing a new book is always intimidating)
i love and have read just about everything from vonnegut, palahniuk, hemingway, salinger
looking for something in a similar vein... sortof cynical, manic, psychological, gritty, truthful
any suggestions? :geek:0 -

Trying to finish The Defining Moment by Jonathan Alter about FDR's first 100 days as president - I'd like to finish it before the inauguration. It's amazing how similar things were back then to today.0
