My favorite Book of ALL time!

I didnt pick this book up because it was on Oprah's Book Club, I picked it up while browsing Costco for a new fiction book, YEARS ago when it first came out. I absolutely LOVED this book!

The Da Vinci Code
Dan Brown
Doubleday, 2003
Amazing book
+ Lets get real: Great FICTIONAL story,
+ ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I HAVE EVER READ!
An absolutely amazingly fascinating book. It has made even the most die-hard atheists interested in religion. No matter how much is true, it just doesn't matter. This book has made the average book reader think, discuss and question so many things in our everyday life and existence.
I spent an ...

Angels & Demons
Dan Brown
Atria, 2003
Angels and Demons Book Review
+ I confess that I got hooked...
Angels and Demons is Dan Brown's prequel to The DaVinci Code, taking place approximately one year before the events in his best selling novel. The incidents in this book are hinted at in The DaVinci Code and only help to whet the appetite, and this book does not disappoint.
Robert Langdon, a ...

Franny and Zooey
J.D. Salinger
Back Bay Books, 2001
Fun Fanaticism
+ Entertaining and intelligent
It was always a little embarrassing to admit that I hadn't read Franny and Zooey. In the literary world, I guess it's kind of the equivalent of a beauty queen admitting she wears dentures. Somewhere in between that admission and the other one (that I found `Catcher in the Rye' tolerably okay but ...

Me Talk Pretty One Day
David Sedaris
Little, Brown and Company, 2000
Not heartwarming... in a good way.
+ Loved it!
+ Good, but I was looking for more detail on his drug addiction years
Before reading this book, I very much thought from the title (and because at the time I did not know who David Sedaris is)that it would be a "heart wrenching tale" about some child who is physically unable to speak or doesn't have access to a decent education. It was one of those books I meant to ...
