Read SilverFin, now I've gone onto Prey by Michael Crichton.

I enjoyed this book a lot, but then I tend to enjoy anything by Crichton (I'm still trying to chase down a couple of his earlier novels as John Lange). Not long after reading the book I even got to listen to the audio book on CD. Great stuff.

I'm currently reading THE EMPRESS FILE, the 2nd Kidd novel by John Camp (better known by his pseudonym, John Sandford of the "Prey" series). The 3rd Kidd novel (THE DEVIL'S CODE) is published under his pseudonym as well.

EDT: Just found out that there's a 4th Kidd book out. Sweet!

I, too, have fallen for Crichton. Amazing writer. I should be finished with Prey tonight, so I'm hoping to run over to B&N tomorrow afternoon to pick up his new book, State of Fear.

Yep, I'm really interested in reading this book. Eventually.

I'm eagerly waiting for STATE OF FEAR to come out in paperback.

Just started reading PRIME TARGET by Hugh Miller.

It's part of the Alistair MacLean UNACO series, but as it's an original story (not an outline by MacLean like the others in the series) it's actually called: "Alistair MacLean's UNACO: PRIME TARGET."

Have not got his other UNACO novel, BORROWED TIME. yet.

''The Traveller'' by John Twelve Hawkes. Fans of Eric Lustbader should check this one out. It's a similar blend of mysticism and high-tech thriller, plus some samurai swordplay thrown in as a sweetener. Some clever spycraft as well. Undemanding holiday reading (with a couple of sequels in the works).

For pleasure, I tend to have 3 books on the go:

1) Commuter book: Hit & Run - the Guber/Peters/Sony story by Nancy Griffin & Kim Masters
2) Bedtime book: The Great Spy Race by Adam Diment
3) A slow burn tome for dipping: The Diaries of Evelyn Waugh

Battling my way through "Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad.

Apparently it's a "classic" of English literature but frankly i don't see why it's held in such high regard, even though i am only half way through it.

I must be missing the real meaning of the novel - something about the self, human nature etc. However it does a good job at putting me to sleep.

But recently I have been hired by a production company and am acting as an associate producer for a film shot this summer and am developing further material.

Well remembered, Byron.

I only read English (and american-english, since I LOVE Henry James) literature. Am re-reading for the THOUSANDTH time one of my two favourites: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (the other is A room with a view by E.M. Forster)
it is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.
I have never read a better beginning to a book.

Just finished a short story by Christie called "Manx Gold." Somewhat of a different one, making it quite a good read.

One of my friends is lending me The Dirt by Motley Crue so I'm gonna start to read that soon. He is a huge Motley Crue fan and says that it is a really good book. I don't really like Motley Crue that much but we like the same kind of music mainly so I'l give it a try.

The last book I read was The Da Vinci Code which I ended up finishing in two days.

I must be the only person that hasn't read The Da Vinci Code. I really don't much about the book other then it has something to do with the Holy Grail and Leo Da Vinci. Should I go see the movie knowing nothing or should I read the book before hand?

"Within A Wall" - Christie

[Roebuck]

''Blockbuster'' by former Sunday Times film critic Tom Shone. Written as a rebuttal to the Peter Biskind book ''Easy Riders, Raging Bulls'', its a staunch defence of the big summer popcorn movie. It traces the development of the modern blockbuster from the late Seventies to the present and offers some level headed opinions about their recent poor box-office performance.
Shone's inverted snobbery towards art house cinema can be a bit grating though.
