on EBay recently so now I have a whole bunch of new authors. It's quite refreshing because there are some writers I've never heard of but they write bloody good stories.

BTW, I have a few duplicates (Sheldon, Grisham etc). Anyone wants 'em, PM me.

mjamille, I hear Angels and Demons is a good read, much better than the movie. I normally dont read books that have been made into movies but I have Julie & Julia now and I reaaaaally want to read it fast before the movie comes out. Just to compare.

Wow, if I was caught reading in my office I'd find my ass on a flight home ;)
