I've just finished reading 'Demons and Angels' (or was it Angels and Demons, meh) by Dan Brown. What a cracking read, even better than the Da Vinci Code in my opinion. I've got the other two books of his to read now, I'm hoping they will be as good! :lol:

What book are you currently reading? Jonathan Kellerman's Monster. It's not exactly got me gripped though.

Last book read? Minette Walters' Fox Evil.

Favourite author? I don't have a favourite author, rather a list of must read authors including Bill Bryson, John Grisham, Mike Ripley, Kathy Reichs and Kelley Armstrong.

Favourite book? The Sparrow & The Children of God by Mary Doria Russell. So few people have ever heard of these but they're amazing and well worth a read if you're stuck for something gritty to get your teeth into. I've read them three times and imagine I'll read them at least a few more...
