Does Mangas count? cause I hate reading anything but mangas and magazines.....(with exception to the Art of War and a few other chinese history books such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms)

No time at all, my parents both work and the one I go to is over 2 miles away. The one closer to my house is the one that most people go to and the mangas there are always checked out.

Well the last book that I finished reading (for leisure not school) was Dan Brown's "Da Vinci Code."

Gross historical inaccuracies notwithstanding, I found that Brown was able to deliver his story both convincingly and interestingly. I especially liked his intensive use of metaphores, symbolism, anagrams and the like (my oddball knowledge of useless trivia and historical facts paid off).

One thing of note, his portrayal of Catholicism isn't very flattering and coming from a childhood of Catholic-school teachings I was appalled at Brown's unrestrained creativity. However all things considered, this book was written as a fiction and as a story, I would really recommend it to others should they have the time to read it. Lengthwise it's not too long, it took me about 3-4 hours to sit down and finish it in one go... I think most of you would enjoy it.

I liked this book very much, you should also check out 'Angels and Demons' also by Dan Brown.

the da vinci code and angels and demons were really good... but I was diasappoineted with digital fortress.
