Similar to the listening one but to see how divergent the literary tastes are.
I'm currently half way throught Dan Browns The Da Vinci Code which I intend to finnish before I watch the film.
The text is easy to get through and Dan Brown certainly is a very descriptive author

I'm also reading The Da Vinci Code. I'm about a quarter of the way through it. Don't get chance to read that often which is why I gave up on trying to finish it before I saw the film.
Excellent book that I would recommend to anyone.

Have just gone through Bernard Cornwell's "Warlord" series (set in the time of King Arthur) and am now onto a re-reading of Stephen Ambrose's "Band of Brothers". Will hopefully be getting "The Victors" soon as well...

It usually doesn't take me long to finish any book as long as its not too unreadable, I don't sleep sometimes if a book is hard to put down (yup, I'm a saddo!). I'm not reading a book at the minute because I haven't had chance to look for something good to read. Any recommendations? I've read The Da Vinci Code though.

Cell - Stephen King Angels and Demons - Dan Brown Both great books worth reading. |

Would also recommend the following
The Leader- Guy Walters
First Casualty- Ben Elton
Both gripping thrillers

I love the Jeffery Deaver books, the "Lincoln Rhyme' series in particular.

They're not bad...have you tried the James Patterson books? Similar, only better, in my personal opinion...

The Sinner by Tess Gerritsen is engaging to say the least. Would certainly purchase further TG novels

I'm reading the Blaze Forum!! Smart A$$......some parts can be construed as literary masterpieces but unfortunately some are little more than electronic graffitti. A few years back I read Stephen Ambroses Band Of Brothers and recently watched the Dvd mini series in its entireity. The book glosses over large parts of the stories involved of the bravery by beefing up the characters of the men involved- Herbert Sobel in particular |

The Pelican Brief and The Rainmaker) - I don't tend to go for anything too challenging as I would never get enough peace and quiet to read it! |

Slow reader then Johnathon?  Having read many of the WWE autobiographies I can think of a few which belong in the pure fiction sections of literary mongers |

I'm not much of a book reader to be honest, so i just lost interest. I'm sure if i get really bored one day and i have nothing else to do i might pull it out from under the bed and flick through a couple more pages lol.
