plot to the da vinci code

It is a good read:

Allied Electronics
An Electrocomponents Company
2002/2003 Product Catalog

It is quite a good read - I most enjoyed chapter 15 on Power Supplies, Converters, and Power Protection. I'm going to buy the GLM50 W Ultra Small medical power supply. However for some items there wasn't enough information and thus I needed to do some internet browsing to fill in the blanks. Also the prices are already out of date - so be careful when buying from it.

Edit: There is an online version too.

I hope this counts as a book - it is all I have time to read for pleasure anymore.

A friend of mine was talking about the Ender series today. Is it any good?

I might have to look into the Da Vinci code since so many here are reading it.

I just finished Catch 22.

Right now I'm reading The Human Stain by Philip Roth. It's going to be made into a movie with Anthony Hopkins, I think.

Yeah the Ender series is pretty good. It's kind of philosophical in the later books, but no where near the degree that Dune is. Still worth a read imo.

[ClueLis]

Michael Chabon's Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Klay

Really good book. Makes me want to take up comic books.

My only complaint is that it's long, and the descriptions sometimes feel a little long.

 

[SeaSerpent]

Stephen King & Peter Straub, Black House

Just finished this book.

It was very good....just a little slow in the begining.

 

[secretanchitman]

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

The Ender series is very good. Xenocide is dragging a little right now, but it's still good. I've read it in this order: Ender's Game, Ender's Shadow (read it while Ender's Game is still fresh in your mind), Speaker for the Dead, and now Xenocide.

 

[Brutuskend]

Right now I'm re reading Stephen King's "Differant Seasons"

That's one of his collection of short stories. It's the one with "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption" in it.
