My German is not adequate to reading Mann in the original, so I read Lowe-Porter's translation. Mann also wrote a book about writing Faustus which is very interesting.

After being #115 on the library's waiting list for the latest Harry Potter, I finally picked it up on Thursday night and am halfway through it. Just a big kid at heart, I really enjoy these books and movies.

I would have to read it in English, as anything else would be devilish. I think it would be rather hard in terms of vocabularies and stuff and technically I am not a fantasy fan. However, I did buy every DVD of the HP series that has been put on the market.

I just finished S. King's "Lisey's Story". It was a very good book and deserves a great deal of praise. Now i have moved on to Lee Child's "Running Blind" which is from his "Jack Reacher" series.

I have to concur with mz30 in the fact that "Angles and Demons" is (IMHO) better then "The Da Vinci Code". Although all of Mr. Browns books are good i liked Angels and Demons the best.

Agreed on Angels and Demons. I actually thought Da Vinci code was a crappy mystery. The background information though was very interesting.

Brown is a good author, and even though the Da Vinci code wasn't his best book, it was (as with most books) better than the movie. Regards, TheYoda --------------------  Be proud of who you are. |

Err... Nothing right now, just couple days ago read Clive Cussler's Shock Wave though. I'm about to start reading his Night Probe! next.
