    I dunno about you, but when I finished Da Vinci Code, I'm hook and look for his other books. But have to say Digital Fortress not as exciting as the other three. The technic of going from different scenes on each chapter is quite frustating for me.

    oh yes! i've been to the library to look for his other books!
    so you'd recommend Angels and Demons and Deception Point first?

    no particular order really, but I found that reading the Digital Fortress the last is really good, because his writing on the other three are pretty similar. I still not finished Digital Fortress now, but some twist is quite shocking for me. Too bad he hasn't write any other novel.

    I'm currently reading a Vietnamese translation of the novel from which the HK series "A Step Into the Past" is based upon. Great read, especially on history of the later years of the Warring States period; the amount of historical research that must have went with this novel is staggering ....... anyone know what else has this author written?

    Just finished "Dead Until Dark" and currently reading the sequel "Living Dead In Dallas", both by Charlaine Harris. Story is about what the world would be if vampires are real and are legally recognized by law. The propaganda is that vampires are just people who caught some virus that caused to be sensitive to sunlight, garlic, etc.

    peetee,

    Are you talking about the "Shopaholic" series by Sophie Kinsella?

    If so, that series is hilarious!! I read Confessions of a Shopaholic, Shopaholic Takes Manhatten, and Shopaholic Ties The Knot. They are phenomenal and great!

    Let's see...GOLDEN SURRENDER by Heather Graham. Really cheesy. LOL. But I have no other thing to do so no choice. When I'm online though, I read translations of Jin Yong's works. Read up to Chapter 26 of ROCH and only beginning to read LOCH. *sigh* Love these two stories...
