Wow, I just finished reading “Angels & Demons” by Dan Brown and I think I may have liked it more than “The Da Vinci Code.” I like the premise of “Angels & Demons” more. I won’t give either away if you haven’t read them but I highly recommend them both. I read “Deception Point” last year and enjoyed it as well, though not to the same degree. I’m going to start “Digital Fortress” this evening.
It’s truly amazing to me how an individual (Dan Brown) can research and write such books. They are so thoroughly thought out and devised. It’s incredible. I am looking forward to “The Da Vinci Code” movie on May 19th and really hope that they produce “Angels & Demons” as a film as well.
I read “Bleachers” by John Grisham last week. It was very sweet and a very quick easy read. If you want to kill a plane flight I would pick this up just before hand.
I also recently read “The Little Book That Beats the Market” by Joel Greenblatt. If you’d like to know how to save $1 million in the next 17 years read this book. It’s explains in simple terms how anyone can achieve this. I plan to follow his guideline and make my million.
Anyone have other good reads they recommend?
Hiya Bearsy. You know, for a while I refused to read Da vinci Code because it was too main stream and, therefore, couldn’t possibly be any good (I know, stupid, but I can’t help it.). I was genuinly surprised at… oh man I’m late for class….
Sorry bout that. World Lit class. Anyways, I was pleasantly surprised with “Code.” It was obvious Mr. Brown knew his stuff, and though it wasn’t exactly a literary work of art, it read like an intelligent action movie… the stuff hollywood screenwriters jerk off to. You should check out Jared Diamond’s “Guns, Germs and Steel.” You’ve probably heard of it (I think it won the Pulitzer prize). I’m only half way through it, but it’s very interesting, especially because it finally offers a logical non-racist, non-secular explanation of how Europeans came to dominate the world. And I’m a sucker for non-fiction (kind of) history. But yeah…keep up the blogs. I enjoy reading them
I’ll have to look into “Gun, Germs and Steel.”
You need to get up on your blog writting too. I fixed it all up and it’s working smoothly now.
