In the past week, I've read:

Congo - Michael Crichton
Area 7 - Matthew Reilly

Now I'm working on:

Next - Michael Crichton


All in all, I was a bit let down by my first experience with Matthew Reilly. The story was just a bit too over the top for me. A good read, but the situations for the main "hero" were a bit much at times.

I recently had to read "A Star called Henry" (yeah, in English :wacko: ) for school - maybe some of you have heard of it, especially the Irish? It's interesting but pretty hard to read in my opinion...

I thought that was a great book - have read alot of Roddy Doyle, he's a great author.
Have you read anymore of his books?

Hey guys, Anyone likes Dan Brown's books? I think he's one of the best authors in 21th century (: And I just saw that we have a book topic at the moment!
Well, I've a weird style. My fave authors are Dan Brown, Alexander Pushkin and Paulo Coelho -I told you it's weird!-
I also enjoy Turkish-Ottoman history but I don't think you're interested in them (:

I have all of his books too, except the lost symbol. I would like to buy its English version, but I guess I won't understand in English so I'll wait for end of the year for the version in my language :(

In the past few weeks, I've read the following titles by Dean Koontz:

The Taking
Phantoms
Hideaway

All were excellent, he's such a good writer. Especially Phantoms :clap:
