I read Angels and Demons too. Great! The story is much more complex than The Da Vinci Code. It's the better one of both, I think! Have fun!

You should check out trainspotting by the same author. Possibly one of my favourite books of all time.

Did you read Porno yet by said author?

Good call! Douglas Adams is hilarious. All five of those Hitchiker books are amazing. I heard they've been trying to make it into a movie with Jim Carey as Zaphod for a while now ... but with his death its been complicated. They already did a BBC TV series on it in the 80's that was absolutely horrible, but in a funny way. Has anyone else seen it? The special effects are rediculous, but good for a laugh. The Dirk Gently book series he does is good as well.

I recently read "Nine Stories" by J.D. Salinger and really enjoyed it. "Franny and Zooey" and "Raise the High roofbeam, Carpenters" by him are also really good ... but a little weird. They continue the from the short story of a prodigy family that was in "nine stories". Really interesting though.

guys i know you old established members are slating people for bringing back to life old threads but this one in my humble opinion should always be bubbling near the top.

currently i am reading heart shaped box by joe hill (son of the great stephen king)

Re: What book are you reading now?

yeah the stuff with the sherrif was a bit odd. im glad they didnt incorporate that much of his life story in the movie. however, i would have been interested to see the part with the female hitcher in the movie, but i guess the coen bros felt it wasnt relevant to the film. i still enjoyed both a lot.

the road was a great book. really looking forward to the movie this year w/ viggo mortenson.

Started Tom Wolfe's "A man in Full" at Christmas - its really good but I don't seem to get that much of a chance to read (probably because of the internet !!).
