    You haven't LIVED until you've read "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown. It's robbing me of precious sleep, but well worth it!!

    Im about ready to read "1776" by David McCullough--its about the revolutionary war and its been on the best sellers list for weeks. I heard its really good. Im a huge American history buff-well history in general.

    Im just finishing "Talk to the Hand"-by Lynn Stuss(hope that's the spelling) its about the how rude society has gotten today-its hilarious.

    "Catch me if you can" by Frank Abagnale was pretty good. Even though it's not that new...

    Just read The Lamb, but its been out for a while

    Funny. Funny. If you have had any exposure to christian faith... and I'm not saying you need to be a religious person or a believer... it's a funny read.

    It's the story of Jesus in his childhood years as told though his best friend, Biff. I have friends who are religious and who are not who enjoyed this mindless read. The only reason why its better to have been exposed to the faith some is you'll enjoy some of the spoofs more.

    Not a great book, but a good mindless pass your time book.

    I mentioned this in another thread a while back, but Michael Crichton's State of Fear is, in my opinion, one of the most important books published in the last 50 years. Its not his best work in terms of entertainment value. But it puts in perspective a great deal about the debate of the effects technological has on the environment. And it does so by taking dry facts and figures and making them interesting in the context of a decent action thriller.
