Di,
"The DaVinci Code" is one of two books that Pearl Aday recently recommended (ok, maybe 6 months ago) as books that she really enjoyed. I've never gotten around to that one, but the other one she suggested I did really enjoy. It's called "The Secret Life of Bees". It's very Southern, very American, and really a great, absorbing read. Apart from that, most of what I've read lately has just been for work- reading novels that the kids I work with in my school library need to read for a quiz bowl competition. The last book that I read "just because I wanted to" was the final Dark Tower book, Stephen Kings latest. It was pretty good, but I was SO disappointed in ending that it sort of ruined the who book for me. I'm getting ready to read "Flags of Our Fathers", about the US Marines who raised the flag at Iwo Jima and what became of them. (Three never made it out of the battle, and only 2 others lived past 35 years old.)After that- I've no idea. If this topic picks back up, maybe I can find some good suggestions here.
