Re: Book recommendations

This one is pretty good. It's the only one other than the DaVinci Code that
was okay. The other two books by him I thought were pretty bad. This one
is no DaVinci Code, but its entertaining. I think maybe he should rest on
his laurels. He'd have to go some to beat that.

If you like Dan Brown, try "Digital Fortress" It was a quick read, a
mystery, lots of NSA information (pertinent now since the NSA has been
'listening' to our phone calls and reading our emails.

I'm one of those people who really only reads while on vacation. I'm
looking for a book to take to Italy -- but strictly for reading on the
plane. My criteria: Fiction, not too heavy subject matter,
page-turner that grabs you on page 1 and doesn't let go, and nothing
over 300 pages or so. (My friend and I are gonna swap books, so I
need something I can read from start to finish pretty quickly.) I
loved Da Vinci Code (strictly as a mystery novel) and that would be an
example of the kind of engrossing plot I like. I've read all the
Patricia Cornwells and not much else (such as Janet Evanovich,
Kellerman, etc.). How 'bout it, you readers? Otherwise, I'm gonna
go to Barnes & Noble this afternoon and pick the brains of the people
who work there.
