I'm reading an autobiography on one of our AFL footballers called Black. (the footballers name is Heath Black) He went off the rails when he retired and was later diagnosed with Bipolar II and adult ADHD. I'm not far into the book yet

I'm reading a book entitled Sam's Letters to Jennifer... written by James Patterson ... In the reviews it is said to be one of those easy summer reads... and it is ... Again, I'm waiting for something to happen ... It's a bit too light and romantic a read for me ... but it was next on the list so ... lol ... there ya go ... xo

I am reading 206 Bones by Kathy Reichs. This is one in the series of books that the TV series Bones is based it. Only one more to go and I will have read all that are out so far

[K1ttycat]

I just finished reading "The Night Circus". Really enjoyed that. My next book will be "The Hangman's Daughter." Sounds really good and it was only £1.99 in the Amazon flashsale on Tuesday. If you want a real tear jerker try "Me Before You" by Jo Jo Moyes. I never cried so hard in my life....

I'm going over Bag Of Bones by Stephen King again.

Quite a few years since I read it so I can't remember enough to spoil it as a story.

The book ended up being AND still one entitled Saving Alice... by author... last name Lewis... I forget the first ... AND it's nothing to do with Wonderland ... lol ... When I picked it up at the Salvation Army ... I must have thought it did... or was in an odd mind-set ... Anyroad... it's barely one to write home about, imo ... but again ... I've started it and must see how it turns out ... It's about a man who was in love with Alice... He, Alice and Donna were best friends... and Alice and Stephen... I think his name is ... boyfriend-girlfriend... Alice gets killed by a car ... Stephen and Donna, being besties... think it's a good idea to marry... They have a daughter, Alycia ... get it ? ... named for their dead friend, Alice... and ... Donna believes very much in her Christian faith... Stephen's lost faith... and being a stock-broker... manages to lose his and everybody else in town's money... dah dah dah... AND IT'S A LONG BOOK... lol ... I've been at it since... last I yapped... and I STILL have half of it to go ... xo

Awe the Horse Whisperer! I've got it, but haven't read it yet. Suppose to good though.

Well my book choice at the moment may sound boring, but I'm reading a book by the Dalai Lama. Very interesting. I have also read Meats biography which was great too :)

Which Dalai Lama book is it? Since it is interesting I want to read it. Thanks for the recommendation. I'm also looking for new stuff to read

Right now I am reading No regrets : a rock 'n' roll memoir by Ace Frehley from the group KISS. it's his autobiography of course

[The Flying Mouse]

Angels & Demons.
My usual cruising speed for a book is approx 30 - 50 pages per night. The only time I tend to read is in bed just before lights out.

Last night I couldn't put the fecking book down and did in about 180 pages

It's pretty fast paced, and i've got a couple of theories and i'm waiting to see if i'm right or not.

Last night I reluctantly put the book down as the Hassassin pushed the 4th pope into the water.

The Camerlengo is Janus.

The bomb is in the grave the public believe to be St Peter's tomb, but actually contains sashes for cardinals.

This one is a little out there.
The Camerlengo is not actually of the Illuminati, but knows enough of the Illuminati to convice the Hassassin. The Camerlengo is actually possing as an Illuminus to take out the 4 popes, rally the church in it's hour of need, and emerge as a serious and popular contender for being the next Pope.

For this, he would have to murder the late pope, who was like a father to him, but perhaps the pope (who was shown to be quite a liberal after his election) was murdered by a sect within the church, so the Camerlengo has used the murder in his scheme of blaming everything on the Illuminati.
Problem is, if somebody else killed the pope, somebody knows it was nothing to do with the Illuminati. That said, would the guilty party admit to the murder to discredit the Illiuminati, of keep their mouths shut and let the Illuminati take the credit and the blame?

Either way he'd be in a strong position to lead and reform the church in a more modern and science friendly way.

Guess i'll find out in the next night or two

I just finished Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins for the second time and will probably Re-read Mockingjay next or Wizard of Oz

Well I was pretty close when I said the bomb was in St Peter's tomb. It was just in the real one rather than the fake tourist attraction one

I was right about the Camerlengo being Janus, and not really being of the Illuminati, but I thought his motives were a little different. I thought that both the Pope and the Camerlengo embrassed a religion that was more tolerant of the sciences, but it appears that they disagreed over it. I was right about the Camerlengo using the incident to become Pope.

All in all it was a pretty good book (how can something that makes you read 180 pages in one sitting be bad?) but I think some of it was a little forced.
I like it when things come together in unexpected ways, but I think Dan Brown went a bit too far making the Camerlengo the Pope's son, and making his birth the reason the Pope was grateful to science.

The Camerlengo trying to be the next Jesus was a bit over the top too. The Camerlengo had done enough to secure his place as Pope, and the whole talking to God thing was a bit OTT.
I know The Camerlengo wanted a miracle to bring people back to the church, but I think it was too much. If anything, it was premature confirmation that the Camerlengo was dodgy as hell.

The Max Kohler red herring was pretty good, and nearly had me for a minute, but then I realized how many pages there were to go, so it couldn't be resolved so quickly and easily.


All in all though, a good fast paced exciting read.
