    Just finished reading this last week, seriously enjoyed it. The 4th in the "Robert Langdon" series of Dan Brown's books (Angels and Demons, Da Vinci Code and Lost Symbol being the others):

    Have moved onto this now, again it is number 6 in a series I like which follows a policeman and his historian wife who travel around Europe usually looking for some type of historically relevant relic, enjoying it so far:

    The * Delusion - Richard Dawkins

    So far so good.Only really read one other book on the subject before (Hitchens) and already I much prefer Dawkins' writing style and wit.

    Worth a look,whatever your beliefs :50:

    Started Dostoyevsky - tales from the underground/The double.

    Best book Ive read recently was The Long Walk to Freedom. Madiba was an inspiring man. Read Dr. Faustus as well. Loved it. 17th century play about a man who sells his soul to the devil.

    Reading that just now. Started Tales From The Underground when I was at school but never got around to finishing it. Crime and Punishment is stunning.

    Forgive me Father for I have sinned......I bought a * Sony e-reader! :52: :smiley-laughing002: Figured this is going to save me a * of a lot of money. Already downloaded a shitload of free books including a lot of books I was planning to order from ebay. I'm surprised how well it reads away tbh, cause I hate most modern gadgets
