I put this up so we can find out what others are reading, and possibly get ideas about what we should read next.
List your current read here, and if you feel that it's worth a thread, start one.

I'm currently reading The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells. I told you I like old Science Fiction lol. Anyway, once I finish it, I will read Rocket Boys by Homer H. Hickam. It's the book that October Sky is based upon.

I'm currently reading The Diary of Anne Frank. It's a brilliant history book as well as a story. Did anyone see the mini series of Anne Frank?

Just started The Summons by John Grisham. And Anne Frank is an excellent book in my opinion.

I'm reading Les Miserables for English class. It's pretty okay, but we have an abridged version, so it gets kinda confusing, because they leave out a lot of important stuff.

I'm reading, The Footprints of God, by Greg Iles.
It's a thriller that involves: government, christianity, technology, and mystery.
I got into this type of book since reading The Da Vinci Code.

I just got done reading Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh.
It's a good book. Very easy to read.
I'm now going to re-read Midnight for Charlie Bone by Jenny Nimmo now, because I have to do a Book Talk on a book.
It's awesome. A whole lot like Harry Potter.

Yeah, I've heard that the Da Vinci Code was pretty good. Another of the books I plan to read soon is Angels and Demons by Dan Brown, the same author who wrote the Da Vinci Code. My sister tells me that I'll love it, son I hope it turns out to be as good as I expect it to be. I'll have to write down the title of that book, WioK. If I do get into this kind of book (and I think I will, I'm interested in all four of the topics you mentioned), I'll need some good reading material in that genre.

Angels and Demons was very good. Many don't like it as much as Da Vinci Code. That's because, you're really supposed to read A&D first (I didn't). TDC is the second book. It's better, but A&D is a very good story. Read it.

Yeah, for some reason, Dan Brown seems to have suddenly become popular after the Da Vinci Code, so alot of people read that without knowing that there is a book that comes before it. I've never read the Da Vinci Code though, so I shouldn't have that problem.

I read Da Vinci first, and still loved A&D.
