absolutely INCREDIBLE book. Got it for Christmas and already almost done reading it. Will make you blink, believe me. ESPECIALLY if you are scientifically minded, it'll appeal to you.

DateDoc · 12-28-2006, 06:43 PM

Next by Creighton is great. Grisham's The Innocent Man was amazing. I picked it up thinking it was a novel but it is a true story. Brother Odd by Koontz was good too and Cross by Patterson was awesome.

reynold · 12-28-2006, 07:48 PM

I've been waiting for some Koontz novels lately, but I guess I just have to buy them myself.

I've been reading a lot of consumer books, tapping into the mind of today's consumer as well as some good branding and management books.

For leisure, I've started A Wedding in December. Not far enough in it to give a good opinion.

Magalie · 12-29-2006, 09:07 AM

Got 4 books...'was really happy since I was all out of stuff to read !

Don't know if they're good yet, most probably though... I could give you the titles, but they're all in french so...

If you want an interesting read though, try Life of Pi - I personnaly loved it, very different and orignial !!

My brother is an editor for a national science magazine. As such, he gets a LOT of books for free. And since he mistakeningly thinks we are even 1/10 as smart as he, he sends them to us. It's become a joke as to who gets the oddest book.

Personally, I just finished reading the Alchemist and am now reading Reagan: A life in letters.

If anyone wants a copy of http://www.amazon.com/Intelligence-J...e=UTF8&s=books
