Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

7th Heaven by James Patterson, & yes it is good!. I like all Patterson's books!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Marley and Me (again!) It's a great book, it has you crying with every sad moment, and in hysterical laughter at almost any other time! The saying "Don't judge a book by it's cover" applies especially with Marley and Me, because it isn't just about a very dopey Labrador Retriever!. It takes you through every moment of Marley and his owner's lives, from their miscarriage, to Marley being expelled from obedience school! After Marley and Me (for the fifth time), I am going to read "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini, and then "Sorry" by Gail Jones!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm reading the last book in the Obernewtyn Chronicles by Isobelle Carmody, she's an Australian author!. It's a situation where a nuclear holocaust happens and generations of misfits are born as a result - it's science fantasy, these misfits have special mental abilities as a result of the holocaust!. They are basically good but they are feared by the Government factions, and the story revolves around them and their struggle!. It's a great series!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm reading "Fugitives and Refugees" by Chuck Palahniuk, it's one of his non-fiction books, it's about a 'walk around portland, oregon'!. I'm almost done with it!. He talks about everything from the places you can go for sex, to the SantaCon, where thousands of people dress up as Santa and take the city by storm!. It's the final Chuck Palahniuk book that's out there available until 2009!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Paolo Coelho The Witch of Portobello

Multimillion-seller Coelho (The Devil and Miss Prym, etc!.) returns with another uncanny fusion of philosophy, religious miracle and moral parable!. The Portobello of the title is London's Portobello Road, where Sherine Khalil, aka Athena, finds the worship meeting she's leading—where she becomes an omniscient goddess named Hagia Sophia—disrupted by a Protestant protest!. Framed as a set of interviews conducted with those who knew Athena, who is dead as the book opens, the story recounts her birth in Transylvania to a Gypsy mother, her adoption by wealthy Lebanese Christians; her short, early marriage to a man she meets at a London college (one of the interviewees); her son Viorel's birth; and her stint selling real estate in Dubai!. Back in London in the book's second half, Athena learns to harness the powers that have been present but inchoate within her, and the story picks up as she acquires a "teacher" (Deidre O'Neill, aka Edda, another interviewee), then disciples (also interviewed), and speeds toward a spectacular end!. Coelho veers between his signature criticism of modern life and the hydra-headed alternative that Athena taps into!. Athena's earliest years don't end up having much plot, but the second half's intrigue sustains the book!. (MayWww@QuestionHome@Com

Im reading a couple at the moment also!.

'Rubicon' by Tom Holland, which is a biographical look at the downfall of the Roman Republic, but very very well written as opposed to some stuff that I've read!.

If you like biographical stuff, I really enjoyed "Joe Cinques Consolation' by Helen Garner which is an Australian story about a uni student who killed her boyfriend over three days using Rohypnol and Heroin before calling the Ambulance who could not resuscitate him, and a lot about Helen Garners journey into the aftermath and the trial!. Good Stuff!.

also nearly finished Isabel Allende's "City of Beasts"!.!.!.!.interesting!.

Just finished the "The Oracle' by Paul Auster - cant believe that guy was on the NYT best seller list - was possibly just as painful to read as 'The Da Vinci Code' -and just as disappointing at the end! also recently finished The Time Travellers Wife' by Audrey Niffeneger!. Intense but v!.good!. And "The blind Assassin" by Margaret Atwood (also great - she writes wonderfully)

And Im always reading something of Terry Pratchett!. Seriously, how can you go past that guy - One of the BEST authors around!.

also as a West Australian , I have to plug our token novel "Cloudtreet" by Tim Winton!.
Its a beautiful novel!. What more can I say!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm reading "Critical" by Robin Cook (the medical thriller writer)!. I love his books, even though they can be quite disturbing!. He always gives a great 'behind the scenes' look at the world of medicine!.
My previous book was "The no asshole rule: building a civilised workplace and surviving one that isn't" by Robert Sutton!. I very rarely read management books, but this one is a must-read, both for managers and those who suffer their behaviour!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

rereading the whole Twilight series again until breaking dawn comes out!. If you want to know what it is about, here's the blurb:

About three things I was absolutely positive!.
First, Edward was a vampire!.
Second, there was a part of him - and I didn't know how dominant that part might be - that thirsted for my blood!.
And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him!.

When Isabella Swan moves to the gloomy town of Forks, and meets the mysterious, alluring Edward Cullen, her life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn!. With his porcelain skin, golden eyes, mesmerizing voice, and supernatural gifts, Edward is both irresistible and impenetrable!. Up until now, he has managed to keep his true identity hidden, but Bella is determined to uncover his dark secret!.

What Bella doesn't realize is that the closer she gets to him, the more she is putting herself and those around her at risk!. And it might be too late to turn back!.!.!.

Deeply seductive, and irresistibly compelling, the book 'Twilight' is an extraordinary love story that will stay with you long after you have turned the final page!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm currently reading Plague Ship by Clive Cussler and Jack du Brul!. They're two of my favorite authors, and this latest book of theirs is very much living up to my expectations!.
I'm also reading The Carpet People by Terry Pratchett!. It was his first book that he wrote at age 17, and I've got the edition that he re-wrote/fixed up badk in the early '90's!. It's cute and fun, and while I can see how he how he moved on to Discworld later on, I prefer the series!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Scarlet Pimpernel, for my friend who's obsessed with it!. It's!.!.!. a very silly book!.
