I'm a Dan Brown fan too... esp The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons. In fact, I first heard of CERN from A&D and now I'm madly in love with the Centre. :)
His writing is just beyond awesome, and all the information he stuffs in is really cool too. Although there's a description overload sometimes that makes it so dreary...
Anyway, here are some of Dan's most glaring errors.

Some of them are not errors at all though, just downright stupid stuff by those critics. But the guy who wrote this has got pretty sharp eyes, I'd say. One hell of a critic!

The Ascendance Trilogy by Jennifer A. Nielsen.
A really nice series with brilliantly developed characters, filled with an electric plot and it had the one thing I look forward in books: an amazing sense of humor.
Those of you who have read the Inheritance Cycle, the Ranger's Apprentice series... you'd love this series. There's no magic, just a plain old boy using his wit.
To sum up, its a great read.

toooooooooooooo far fetched the thing i hated was that first langdon was running all along from his friends and then second the story had been concluded before its beginning, who knew about virus 2 days ago but had been released since a week, there was nothing they could do any way :eek:
Couldn't agree more!
Btw I think we had discussed the same thing over and out some time ago, right?
Dan Brown is getting rusty...

Anyone a Bourne fanatic here!
For those of you who are into thrillers, Bourne is an absolute read.
A personal favorite, Jason Bourne is one of the most colossal characters I have ever come across in my reading till date.

And Then There Were None -Agatha Christie
Awesome mystery thriller :D
It was beyond creepy.
I'm never ever going to touch Agatha Christie's books again! :p

Yayy..
Haven't watched that. Don't intend to either. Movies just spoil the essence of books.
And the Bourne Legacy is my best and favorite from all the 11 books until now. So I want it to remain that way. :)

Its the opposite here. I've read his Bourne trilogy but not his other books. I'll give them a shot if I have time.
Btw only the first three books in the series are by R. Ludlum. The other eight are by Eric Van Lustbader, who I consider a more enigmatic writer than Ludlum. Ludlum has great ideas but I think he is a bit slow paced and descriptive compared to Lustbader, who gives the right tinge to the Bourne series, a fast paced vibe with action all the time. I consider him a bit like Dan Brown and sometimes when compared to DB's Inferno, Lustbader's Bourne novels are way on a different level (IMO).

Has anyone read "To kill a Mocking Bird" ? Fabulous
I have started reading it, still in chapter 2... But then I stopped, unsure whether I should continue...
What do you think? The book is really famous and loved by many people around the world!
