 I actually just finished it today. I just love how Dan Brown write. He just leaves clues through out the book and makes you put the puzzle together. |

Just finished the Ezekiel Code by Gary Val Tenuda. Great book! Any suggestions on similar books? I did read The Lost Symbol.

I just now finished Edward C. Patterson's The Jade Owl. I want to give a quick recommendation. For the new people here, Ed is on kindleboards, and there are other threads here about The Jade Owl (just put "Jade Owl" in search). This is a link to the paperback, but it's available for kindle at a very, very low price.  |

Two five star books in one day! This bodes well for 2010! Keeping the holiday spirit going for a few more days, I decided to read this:   This was a short novella and I read it this afternoon. Absolutely fabulous! Historical fiction and lots of great detail. And a couple of hot guys. I loved it. |

Water For Elephants is one of the best books I've read in a very long time.
I would highly recommend it.

Just finished the latest Jonathan Kellerman -- Gone: An Alex Delaware Novel
Highly recommend it! I love his work and his wife's (Faye Kellerman)
If you haven't read any of his before, start with the first one: When the Bough Breaks (there are 20 in all).

I think I've intro to JKs book, but didn't find it appealing at that time. Will take a second look. |

I read this and the follow-up so quickly - great reads and especially for someone who loves Asian things, but not boring stuff. |

I absolutely loved this book! I've been reading Kennedy's True Compass (kindle), which is remarkable, but it's still too close to home for me (knew several of the family growing up) so may just have to get your suggestion! BTW, I truly recommend highly True Compass by Kennedy. Whatever your political, religious, etc. views, this is one of the most fantastic accounts of our past half century through the eyes of someone who helped shape it.   |
