Thats actually my favorite book of all time. Too bad I read it in 4th grade, and it’s still a 4th grade book :lol:

But um, the last book was Angels and Demons (prequel to The Davinci Code) by Dan Brown.

All the books by Stephen Koontz or Coontz, can’t remember. The guy has a series of books with a character named Jake Grafton who is an ex military guy and he has lots of crazy adventures that make you feel like you’re right there, my favorite is “Hong Kong”.

It’s been bugging me, and a thread sparked by our generation thinking that well-read means you have acounts on multiple forums seemed like a good place to rant.

Reading Omnivore’s Dilemma now. I’m going to switch to fiction after this, although school is starting so who knows when that will be.

After all the “book” threads, and the titles you’ve listed and opinions you’ve stated, I have a hard time believing you’ll ever read real literature.
