Re: Book recommendations

That was Watchers. I know... I anticipated the movie being great and it was
a SORE disappointment.

I can't remember most of the titles, but loved the one with the golden
retriever!!! Too bad the movie based on that book was so terrible.,\

I love Dean Koontz. I think I've read every book he's written, but I think
my favorite will always be the first one I read - "Watchers".

Okay, I understand then. But being a huge Dean Koonz and Steven King
fan, obviously I don't need the plot to be believable!!! <G>

Just goes to show difference in taste. A book has to be believable to
me, and that one just wasn't! Surviving a fall out of a helicopter
from that height! Really...... I like the book suggestions, though.
I read at night before going to bed as it gets my mind off everything
and I sleep better, so I go through books like crazy and have this
awful thing that I have to finish a book, no matter how bad it is (One
exception, to this day I have NEVER finished Alice in Wonderland--have
started it a few times). I like a good mystery, medical novels, and
Clive Cussler! I loved James Michener--nobody writes like him--I miss
him!

DH read Angels & Demons and he kept saying, "you HAVE to read this
one!" I haven't yet, but I will. He really liked it.

Really? I thought Angels & Demons was by far his best book!

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.
