Finished reading;

Angels & Demons - Really enjoyed
Amarillo Slim in a world Full of Fat People - Really enjoyed
No time for Goodbye - Was alright

Looking for something else to read, i like the Dan Brown books, have Da Vinci Code/Deception Point to read at some stage, but want to read something in between!

I quite like crime/thriller type books, or something quite funny and interesting, like the Amarillo Slim book.

Currently reading Taking Liberties, as my Dad said it's a must read at least once, and couldn't decide what to read last night so started to read that!

Had American Psycho as a recommendation, so might look into that.

Not really into LOTR/Harry Potter, either.

Thanks!

Edit: doesn't have to be crime/thriller etc, just recommend anything and i'll look into them :)
 
Hmm, get yourself into some of Robert Ludlum's books. He's the one who wrote the Bourne series.

I'm reading this at the moment, so can't really praise it enough as I'm thoroughly enjoying it:

Orson Scott Card - Ender's Game
 
Ah yes was going to read Bourne Ultimatum as it's the only one i have, but apparently should really read from the first (have seen all films though :p?).
 
I was going to start on The Bourne Ultimatum since it was the only one I could rent out as well, but I'll take your advice and get the other two books before it! I've heard it doesn't matter that you've seen the films first though, apparently it has some radical differences?
 
Yeah my Dad said that, i wanna read it, but thinking it's pointless reading the last of them...it's the only one i have too, got it free when the movie came out i think.

Might read Deception Point next i think..!

Edit: think it should be Angels & Demons > Da Vinci Code > Deception Point > Digital Fortress, so Da Vinci Code it is!

Deception Point was my last Dan Brown book to read, only happened to finish it a week ago in fact! I actually found it to be the most lackluster though, much preferred Digital Fortress due to its technology theme.

Anyways you can't go wrong with The Da Vinci Code! An incredible book that kept me hooked throughout!
 
Ludlum has some great books, I think it was The Parsifal Mosaic I really enjoyed.

As an aside I was on wikipedia and noticed that there are rumours they may adapt it as the plot for the 4th Bourne film!
 
A fantastic book that I recommend to most people is:

Dean Koontz - Odd Thomas

I picked it up for 50p at a book store near me selling second hands, however it goes for around £2.50 at many on-line websites.
 
Added a few to these to my wish list, reading Da Vinci code for now, enjoying it so far!

Think i might read the Bourne set, gotta buy the first two, though.. deciding whether to get the one that has all three, or just separates, the one with all three is something like 1400+ pages, hmm!
