I haven't been able to check it yet... his books are not available at WHSmith Paris so i'll have to order some of his work... :?

but I still love Ben Elton's works (specially High Society that you should try if you haven't yet...)

i read Grisham's "the firm" and it was pretty cool.

i'm almost done with Dan Brown's "deception point". his books are good and all, but am i the only one that feels they're all almost the same?
1. people with professions like "religious symbologist", "marine geologist", "gister" and "glaciologist".
2. love story
3. characters with some some sort of trauma that later they have to face again (i.e. robert langdon is claustrophobic, and in deception point the chick is scared of large bodies of water or something)

and i've started "the catcher in the rye" which i'm liking, it's kinda funny.

I know what you mean about Dan Brown. DaVinci Code <<< Angels & Demons, even thought the latter is Catholic-friendly. Grrrr.

Just finished "Döden Ligger Lågt" (Reaper Man) by Terry Pratchett. I found it a bit deeper and more serious than the other Pratchett books I have read but I don´t think it makes it any less great for that, sooner the opposite.
