It is "The sky Is Falling" by Sidney Sheldon. It's strong female character Dana Evans with her investigative instincts in unravelling the truth that links a series of murders. I enjoy reading but now i just have to choose between reading and mylotting.

How many novels have you read by Sidney Sheldon? I suggest you read "If tomorrow comes." It's my favourite book by him.

The last book I finished was Stephenie Meyer's 'Eclipse'. It's the third book in the Twilight series. My brother's girlfriend told me to read teh Twilight books and I was skeptical at first. She lent me her copies and I ended up falling in love with them. I usually don't like books that are full of 'romance' stuff, but I just love these. I'm kind of excitedabout the movie coming out for 'Twilight', yet I know I usually don't like the movie versions as much as I liked the book.

I was afraid with all the hype that the Twilight books were getting, that it would probably suck. But I think overall, they are well written books, with a nice balance of romance, action and mysticism. If you do check it out, I hope you like it! -Kelli

I was very much into reading books during my school days. I can remember how I grew up from Enid Blytons to Hadly Chase, Alista Mclain, Fredrick Forsyth and Arthur C. Clarke (from Sri Lanka just like me). But then I found myself busy with my accountancy profession, and did not have time to read as a routine. The last book I read was sometime back and it was the Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. I just could not go on without reading it as everyone was talking about it. I would say my reading was not in vain. It was so thrilling especially the anagrams. One critic has called it an invertible palindrome. That means "WOW". You can read the word from beginning to end and end to beginning. When you invert the word it becomes "MOM". Still you can read the word from beginning to end and end to beginning. For those who have not read it, it is a quest to find the Holy Grail where ultimately it is found that the Holy Grail is actually Mary Magdalene. Then the discovery of the bloodline of Jesus Christ is also the way the book ends. I like the plot very much.

Of course I saw the movie before reading the book. It was the movie that inspired me to read the book to get a better understanding of the story. Reading the book was much more interesting than watching the movie. In fact after reading the book I watched the movie again.

The last book I read was about a guide to learn html codes and other syntax. It was fun and challenging at the same time since it really gave me headaches for a couple of days. I love it as a whole though. I want to learn those things so I can understand several programs used nowadays.

Yes, I do love reading, but my taste is just opposite that of yours. I love thrillers, horror and science fiction. When I start reading a book I just can't help finishing it. So, the last book I read was "Tell me your dreams" by Sidney Sheldon. If you don't like thrillers, I'll suggest you read "If tomorrow comes" by Sidney Sheldon. It is simply, what they say, "Unpudownable".

The last book that I have finished from cover to cover was Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. It was about more than a year ago, I was really curious as Tom Hank's movie was about to be shown in the theaters. The book intrigued me and I decided to read the book before I see the movie. I actually never expected that I'd finish the book. I like to read but I have low tolerance to getting sleepy when I read. 15 minutes is a good run for me these days. But it was a good book. I've read a couple more other books but I wasn't able to finish them as well. I'm like at 10 pages a week. Yeah, I'm pretty slow at reading. Take care!

Hi, the last book I read, and finished in 2 days, was Killer's Choice by Ed McBain. It's a detective story, about the murder of a woman, who seemed to be presenting different personalities to the people in her life.

The last book I've read is The Thirteenth Tale: A Novel by Diane Setterfield. It made the hairs on the back on my neck stand but it's not scary, I guess I was just so into the story. Try reading it.

Maybe scary isn't the best way to describe it (my bad!). Mysterious suits it much better. The story is very puzzling, it got me guessing what will happen till the end of the story. It really is a great read. Hope you'll try it. Have fun!!
