I just finished reading The Davinci Code last night, and I highly recommend it to everyone, those who are Christian and those who are not. It is very enlightening..

loved it, but i love mystery, horror, and well everything

so now im onto harry potter - the half blood prince


i really do read a variety. what can i say?

[mallowblaster]

Right now I'm reading Wicked.

I am enjoying it very much.  Very different from the musical, which I have seen already in New York.
Pick it up, it's a good read.

I am reading Great Expectations.

[The_NuttyTart]

i'm just about to start reading the da vinci code......so i'm hoping shanabing is right about it being good!!!!!

[Godless-Liberal]

Great Expectations is boring as hell.  I could give a shit less about Pip and his expectations.

I'm reading Eats, Shoots & Leaves by Lynn Truss.

It's a fun book that makes fun of bad punctuation.  

[mallowblaster]

I'm reading Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe.
It's THE book that is said to have started the abolition of slavery in the American South.  We are reading it in my English 410 class.  It's actually not that bad of a read.

That is very interesting that you say that because we were talking in class about how, when it came out, Uncle Tom's Cabin became a huge craze all over the world.  It's cool to know that it has been translated to all kinds of different languages, but then again I'm sure a lot of classic literature is at this point.  I'm glad you enjoyed it.

ooh my next factual book is 'the writing's on the wall China and the West' we should compare notes! but first I have to finish

'Scars of war-wounds of peace the Israeli-arab tragedy' by Shlomo ben-ami

I'm also reading 'Everything is illuminated' by Jonathan Safran-Foer which is a brilliantly written novel, managing to be laugh out loud funny, poigniant, sad and use wordplay smarter than anything I've read since 'Catch 22'

Plus if you happen do be Jewish you might get something extra out of it as sometimes I feel like I'm missing out on some cultural 'in jokes'...
