And what have you read recently?

I've just finished Deception Point by Dan Brown, pretty boring predictable stuff until halfway through, still predictable just less boring!

I'm also trying to finish off Transition by Iain Banks and Glue by Irvine Welsh, I wish he wouldn't write in Scotish speak!

I've also just been given The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo to read, oh and just ordered To Kill A Mockingbird

Dan Brown recycles the same story every time, Deception Point wasn't even slightly entertaining.

I've been into non fiction recently, Why does E=mc2 and why should we care is a good read.

Got bored of Dan Brown after reading The Da Vinci Code.

I'm more into Non-Fiction stuff with Crime/Law. Last book I read was by Razor Smith adn his life story about going in/out of jail.

I read the da vinci code then angels and demons (this is 5/6 years ago mind) and loved them both although was disappointed with the endign to A&D being so similar to the da vinci code. when i tehn read deception point and the other one - well the endings were again identical! good stories but so predictable by the time you get to the end

i read the mtorcycle diaries by che guevara last year and loved it so have also got his books abotu the cuban revolutiona nd bolivian revolution but not read them yet

also have the road less ravelled, a self-help book abotu life

About 20 odd autobiographies, only other books I've read barring those at school are the Dan Brown efforts.

Thought The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time was a brilliant book. Really like the Alex Rider books too (Stormbreaker, Skeleton Key). I vaguely remember liking some of the Artemis Fowl books too.

Totally agreed about Dan Brown. So predictable that there is always a male and female duo

Also have Marching Powder by Rusty Young to finish

Always a male and female duo and the antagonist is always whoever seems most innocent and nice at the beginning

I'm readin the new Dan Brown Lost Symbol

I did enjoy the other books but as said they are predicatble and this one is the same.

A good book i can recomend is 'The Jester' by James Patterson

Reading "The girl with the dragon tattoo" at the moment. Seems to be good but only halfway through.

Not a book worm really, last ones I've read in the last year was Yes man by Danny Wallace and My shit life so far by Frankie Boyle. Also read the long way down and the long way round.

I'd reccomend most James Patterson books. 'Pop Goes the Weasel' is probably my favourite

Not a book worm at all, the only book ive read this year is 'The Wasp Factory' by Iain Banks, which was a decent book imo
