I need to read that new Ken Follet one - Pillars of the Earth was a great book. I didn't realize he had a sequel...

Honestly, The kite runner was great.

What genre do you like? I've been reading lots of different types of book, but the nonfiction are the most interesting because truly, truth is stranger than fiction.

Very well put. Honestly, I'm not to sure on what I "want" to read. I'm pretty sure I am set on crime/mystery or action/adventure types of books. I plan to pick up the following on my way home from work:

Along Came a Spyder - James Patterson
Life of Pi
Catch 22 (maybe)

Not sure on the 3rd one I am picking up.
