Dan Brown - Angels & Demons

Finished it finally... Don't know what has been "stealing" my time since I haven't had the time to read it until now :lol:

. Yeah, but a very good book, though I think The DaVinci Code was better. Guess noone agrees with me on this (for what I've heard...) :lol:

Raspu · **Posted:** 18 Jun 2005, 19:24

I`m still stuck on the da vinci code, but angels and demons is better so far

Dan Brown - Deception Point

Good. And again, The Da Vinci Code was better :lol:

Finnished
"Empire of Bones", Liz Williams ,,some time ago
And I am now half way through
"Nine Layers of Sky", also by Liz Williams.

This far the best of what I´ve read from Liz Williams, is "The Poison Master" Great Sci-Fi with a twist.

I just read "The meaning of Liff" by Douglas Adams and John Lloyd.
Hilarious, absolutely hilarious, :lol:

but I pity the translaters though.

I read it in Finnish but here's a few examples from the English version:

"ABOYNE (vb.) To beat an expert at a game of skill by playing so appallingly that none of his clever tactics or strategies are of any use to him."

"CLIXBY (adj.) Politely rude. Briskly vague. Firmly uninformative."

Dan Brown - Digital Fortress

Good. Very good. But still... the da Vinci code. :lol:

What started to bother me somehow in the books was that they all have the same "pattern" or basically the plot is the same, just the theme or surroundings change. But I guess it works.

... and with that, my Dan Brown marathon is over for now

Tom Clancy- Teeth of the Tiger

Jariq · **Posted:** 25 Jul 2005, 16:30

Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince

Very good, absolutely amazing!

It was much darker than previous Potter books and the ending was very... interesting.
Harry didn't whine about everything as much as in Order of the Phoenix.

I recommend reading it.

After I was through "Nine layers of sky" I had a small break from my Liz Williams trip, and read "The Fire Baby" by Jim Kelly,,, Excellent.
Now im trying to decide whats next...

I noticed that, too! In the fifth book Harry was shouting and complaining and being very irritating all the time... Now he shouted maybe once or something - I'd call that a progress! :roll:

Anyway, I just finished Shakespeare's King Lear and gosh it was complicated to my little brains. O_O But at least now I somehow know what it's about...

Well, I went through them too and now I´m having John Grisham marathon. I started when I was home having common cold and now I been through The Runaway Jury, The Rainmaker and now last pages of The Chambergs Same problem here. All the same. I have few of his books left but I had enought of Grisham for a while. First two I liked, this I´m not so sure of.

The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail by Michael Baigent, Henry Lincoln, Richard Leigh
This is the main 'sourcebook' of Dan Brown's DaVinci Code, it gives you a deeper insight of things and should be read only if interested.

I'm a really slow reader and I read approx. only 3-5 books in a year. I can spent months with just one book!

When done I regretted that Iread it so quickly...
But I think it's great, however I liked the fifth more... That's my favourite...
