The Official Read this Good Book Thread

Papillon - Fantastic book about a french penal colony prisoner
imprisoned for a crime he didnt commit - his escape
attempts and adventures and the evil torture he was put
through . Best book ive ever read - famous film made from
the book staring Steve Mcqeen and Dustin Hoffman .
Awsome !!!

usually, my favorite novels are those about stories of revenge. the most famous is probably "the count of monte cristo", but my favorite book is "La Reine du Sabbat" (french)

the idea of having someone who has suffered great injustice disappears and come back after a long time to get revenge in a horrible and destructive way works every time.

anyone knows other books like that??

Well look at it this way guys, Angels and Demons happens BEFORE the Da Vinci Code, so of course Landon is going to survive the first book.

Angels & Demons is like part 1 of the Da Vinci Code?.......this is news to me

 

[Zero Cool]

For anyone interest in an historical/legal area, the biography of Edward Carson by Ronald Anderson is an excellent read about one of the greatest lawyers cum politicians Ireland (or the U.K.) ever produced.

 

[CalcuoCuchicheo]

Iain Banks' 'The Wasp Factory'

All his books that I've (4 of them) are good but this one is really great.

My teacher says that da vinci code is candy.

 

[Jurhum]

^candy? It's a novel. It's an interesting read. It's not like a devine revelation.
