Last book i read was The Da Vinci Code, very good..movies of books always fail, except maybe The Godfather and The Exorcist...

Read the da vinci code. I enjoyed figuring out the clues, the round church, aka the temple church, for one. Will marshall buried there. Was obvious to me tho that he had written the book with a movie in mind.
The godfather movie was helped by puzo writing the script.
As for history, i was always interested in british history. But i have expanded over the years. i have a book guaranteed to cure insomnia. 'The history of europe'. It is booooring.
