Speaking of genetic engineering, try "The Genesis Code" by John Case. A truly fascinating work of fiction.

I agree. I read the Genesis Code a while back. All this talk of Grisham has re-awakened my interest in his books. I started King of Torts last night -- may get to spend some time really getting into it today since it is snowing and I'll be catching up on work here at home -- primarily the laundry -- my least favorite job!!!! At least between loads I can escape with Mr. Grisham .

I just finished Dan Brown's "Digital Fortress." It was a good quick read.

I recently read Mystic River by Dennis Lehane and would highly recommend it. I'm currently reading 1st to die by James Patterson.

I am currently reading The Da Vinci Code and I can't put it down. An excellent read and I highly recommend it. Murder, mystery, intrique, it's got it all.

Also, Valentine and Mr. Rooster if you like Grisham you will really enjoy David Baldacci. He's a local Virginia writer, from Richmond actually, and I was hooked from the first book I read. The Winner wasn't the first book he wrote but the first one I read and it was very good.

I think my favorite Grisham was The Street Lawyer. Didn't like King of Torts but I actually did enjoy A Painted House, it was very different and well written.

Yeah, I liked Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code, many Nelson DeMille books (especially Charm School), anything by Peter Mayle, Earl Emerson (since I live near Seattle), many of Michael Crichton, Annie Proulx's Shipping News. Older favorites are James Michener (Hawaii, The Source), James Clavell, John Steinbeck.
