I kinda like Patricia Cornwell's books...main character is a medical examiner who solves cases.

I think I read it freshman year of high school, so they shouldn't be too dense or difficult. Of course, you could easily get through one of the stories in maybe a few hours, and then decide if you'd be interested in reading the others.

i like every book if it is a medical thriller. to read late at night just before going to bed. But the disney dvd's are at the top of my favorites things to do/see/read.

Okay guys -- GREAT NEWS!

I was at the airport, going to Niagara Fall's :(, bookless :(:(, when I walked into a small shop and picked up a book by James Patterson. The book was called The Beach House. It was THE COOLEST book. Not classic or anything, but a thriller, and FAST PACED. I finished it in like 3 days, and got my parents pissed off at me since I wasn't really enjoying the trip. Then, on the way back, I picked up Along Came A Spider, Also by Patterson.... I'm like on page 166 after 3-4 hours of reading and I LOVE IT. PATTERSON IS AWSOME!

Ok, :wink: , Well, Harry Potter is a little wizard. He is known as the boy who lived, because he was the only one to ever survive the evil wizard Voldemort's (he who mist not be named) curse, and he was only a baby when it happen!!!! Everyone thinks You Know Who was killed in the confrontation.... But was he?.... :lol: :lol: :lol:
