 The DaVinci Code, Dan Brown: It was called “The book that ate the world” a few years ago and I admit that it was good. However it was good in the way a whippit is good: a few minutes later you got a headache and a jones for something more.
Great book, page turner...Movie decent but not close..


Few oldies i would add to the list:


J.D. Salinger - The Catcher in the Rye

Harper Lee - To Kill a Mockingbird

Philip Roth - Portnoy's Complaint

and this one, given to me by my Babtist Minister father-in-law some 30 years ago...

Babtist? Is that some sort of Streisand sect of Christianity?
