I'm reading a Star Wars novel called Shatterpoint. Then I plan on reading three more Star Wars books called The Cestus Deception, Dark Rendezvous and Labrynth of Evil. LOE leads directly into Revenge of the Sith. I also plan on starting High Fidelity or Life of Pi

I recently finished a book called Brit-Think, Ameri-Think, by Jane Walmsley (I believe that was her name), an American who attended college in London, married there, and has lived there since. In the book, she gives a subject and then contrasts the way Americans and Brits see it in a very funny, albeit highly exaggerated and generalized, way. I know that at least for the American side there was a lot of truth in what was said and for the most part, I think she was fair to both sides. It's a quick, easy read and I recommend it for anybody, especially those living in the US and/or any part of Great Britain (but especially England) and those traveling between the two. There's a fairly recent revision that's out now.

I've now begun Disney War and am also in the process of reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix for the second time in two years (which pales in comparison to the number of times and frequency with which I've read the first four, unfortunately).

I just started to read 'The Killing Club' by Marcie Walsh (a fictional character) and Michael Malone (former soap head writer for OLTL). The murder mystery novel ties in with the current new murder mystery on 'One Life To Live'.

He has a new book coming out?

I'm currently in the beginning stages of East of Eden by John Steinbeck. So far it's fairly good, but it's still hard to tell (it hasn't seemed to have gone very far).

I just finished up The Color Purple and Glorious Appearing and am now beginning Angels and Demons by Dan Brown.

-Aaron
Hell Yeah!!!
I'm reading Angels and Demons. Dan Brown is a supourb author, I cant wait until the Da Vinci Code comes out on the big screen that movie is gonna be awsome!!! I am also reading 20000 Leagues Under the Sea, Jules Verne is also excellent. I've been also reading Bambi-A Life in The Woods, I can read that book in under 5 hours now.
Hey and you have the same first name as I do, that's cool.

Good? Yes. Superb? I'll have to disagree there.

Ok maybe I exaggerated but Angles and Demons from what I've read so far is a very good book. I have not read the Da Vinci Code, but I want to before the movie comes out. I spelled superb like that for a reason too, cuz I'm origanally from Wisconsin

Haha- I didn't even pay any attention to the way you spelled superb. Props for reading A&D before Da Vinci... that's how it's supposed to be done, but few people do.

There's also a follow-up to Da Vinci Code coming later this year, or early next called "The Solomon Key".
