Join the crowd...

There seems to have developed, in recent times, a certain LOTResque aura around two books in particular - The Fountainhead and Da Vinci Code. It's as if the world is divided into two types of people - the ones who have read them and those who are about to. Hmmm... perhaps I should cross the divide myself. The surprising thing is, The Fountainhead has been around for decades, but I wonder if it has managed such a cult following before. Da Vinci Code itself has its ever expanding group of dedicated fans. It's been months since I read a decent book and these (followed by Atlas Shrugged and Angels & Demons) look like good candidates to go in the books-to-read pipeline.

Really good candidates - You could also add The State Of Fear by Michael Crichton to that list - It is about a Tsunami - except that it was published months ? before Dec 26 2004.

Also which was the last good book you read ??

being a dedicated Da Vinci fan I would urge u to go for it...to be honest it's not something out of the world..but certainly a breathtaking thriller...in case you need some help with the odd french usage Main hoon na :)
