I just finished "Holy Blood, Holy Grail." If you've read "The DaVinci Code," then this is a must!

I ordered it but was sidetracked by 'The Templar Revelations' not so interesting when compared to what the Da Vinci Code talked about, guess I'll read Holy blood, Holy Grail sometime soon, right now I'm on "Abram: The Life of an Israeli Patriot" by Orenstein

'The Lovely Bones' by Alice Sebold. It's a heartbreaking book - a 14 year old girl who has been murdered views her family and friends from her own heaven. I strongly recommend it.

Many people here are saying what they are reading (which the title of this thread saids) but sometimes you don't know if the person liked the book. I think it's better if we say what we have read instead so that we can get an opinion on the book as well. Just an idea, do as you want.

Well, both the Herman Wouk books are GREAT, fast page turners. 670 pages each, or so, and I'm finishing them in less than a week each.
