Think we talked about The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, i still have that in hard cover and paperback...and The Longest Day..have boxes of books in the attic...my favs were political thrillers and crime drama...my all time fav is The Day of the Jackal by Frederick Forsyth, still have that one with rubber bands holding it together...read other books by him but that was the best.
Last book i read was The Da Vinci Code, very good..movies of books always fail, except maybe The Godfather and The Exorcist...

You mentioned The Da Vinci Code. I've read 3 or 4 of those books by Dan Brown. They're all pretty entertaining. I think the last one I read of his was called The Lost Symbol. There's a lot of info in that one about the influence of the Masons on the founding fathers and on Washington DC.

Watched some of it too, but had already seen it, so turned tv off and started to read "Game of Thrones." Not much opportunity to read around here without the TV on. Wife likes to watch a lot of reality TV which basicly makes me a bit crazy. Not sure whether we are typical household or not, but watching TV and reading sometimes is hard for me to do, but not for her. Not sure whether any studies have been done or not, but I think, if any have they probably prove that women are way better than us at multi-tasking. When she is watching TV, I usually have to seek refuge at the computer and even that is difficult. She likes to wander from the living room to kitchen and turn the kitchen tv on which is right next to our small "media" room where the compter is located. Anyway, plans to read "Game of Thrones" went awry. Nodded off after about 10 minutes.
