    Not reading anything at the moment.

    Aly, add "The Day Trader" by Steven Frey (sp?) to your reading list. It's an amazing story about love, hate, betrayal, greed, and lies. Many twists, and always interesting.

    Sounds interesting.  :D I'm supposed to be on chapter two for school in Ishmael, but I read it all yesterday.  :blink:

    I really rarely read books at all, but the last one was "The Keep" by Paul F. Wilson...
    (in short, it's about an ethereal enemy of the Third Reich whose efforts to destroy it are ultimately thwarted...)

    The Phantom Tollbooth

    Dan Brown isn't thgood of an author, he just seems it because his books are well researched.
    I'm reading a book about the son of a victim of the Yorkshire Ripper and how hard it was for him growing up after his mother was killed. It's called Just A Boy by Richard McCann (I think)

    Really? I find Dan Browns style very good. He's done his research and he's written it well. For example the way the chapters are so short... makes the reader want to turn the pages and carry on. I think Dan Brown is a good author :thumbsup:

    oh and I was gonna agree with Redlion on To Kill a Mockingbird. Great book. So much into it if you study it at school.

    I recommend the Harry Potter series. I highly recommend reading the Dark Tower Series by Stephen King.

    Right now I am reading fist of steel. It is ok so far, I expect it to get better.

    Mmm.. Ender's Game. One of the best books I've read. Let's see, Ender's Game, Ender's Shadow, Shadow of the Hegemon, Shadow Puppets, Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide (I think..), and Children of the Mind. I've read all of the ones up to Children of the Mind. It's an awesome series.
    The Giver is a pretty good book. :p
    The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is good too. :p Can't think of anymore.

    I'm reading Angry White Pyjamas, it's a book about the Martial Art Aikido. And I'm also reading Quicksilver but I'm not far into that yet.

    One of my favourite books is K-PAX, the plot of which is at a mental institute... it's very strange, like nothing I've read before. Some of you might know of the film of it.

    I'll have to read the books you all suggested that I haven't already. ^_^

    I'm reading Angels and Demons at the moment, as well as Jane Eyre. My favourite book ever is Picture Of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. It's just amazing.

    Angels and Demons is so farfetched... Bit like The Da Vinvi Code really... and Deseption Point. I swear all Dan Brown's books are the same. Someone's murdered, someone gets mysteriously whisked away to solve something then somethign bad happens to them, more people die etc etc. And at the end there's a big twist. But the twists in DVC and A&D were well done... Deception Point was pretty obvious.

    A&D was better than Da Vinci.. but I'm not really a massive fan of them
