adventurechick 0 #1 December 19, 2006 Whenever I'm on break from school and at home, it's my time to catch on some good reading. I'm in the middle of a fantastic book called The Last Templar by Raymond Khoury. It reminds me of the Da Vinci Code, but a bit more fast paced. What good books are you reading over the holiday season? Or tell us about your favorite book! Please include Title, Author, and a brief summary if you would like!

mamajumps 0 #2 December 19, 2006 anything by Dean Koontz... I like his books because in a wacked out kind of way, many of his stories could happen unlike Stephen King (who is a great author) but is out in left field. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The sequel (which I accidently read first) was good though.Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.
