I just recently finished Last of the Breed and obviously liked it so much (continously reading it) that my husband read it and also liked it. I picked it up at a book sale and hadn't heard about the author before. I will definitively try other Louis L'Amour books. Does anyone know if the...

I just finished reading my first Forsyth novel: The Avenger. I thought it was a really great book! If you are interested in war history and like to read spy/thrillers books, then I'd recommend this book. I will read his The Day of the Jackal which is suppost to be one of his best. His...

Quote from Swash Well, since I finished Op-center, I would say it's disappointing to think that I didn't read a Clancy, but I still enjoyed it. Thanks for posting a list of the books suggested to be read in a certain order. My next Clancy will be "The Hunt for Red October". Quote by...

I just finished reading Op-Center: Mirror Image. It says that it was created by Tom Clancy and Steve Pieczenik. It was my first Clancy novel and I quite enjoyed it so I'll probably read some more. I thought it was entertaining and it had good character development. Based on the previous...

I've just finished reading " Death in Vienna" by Dan Silva. It's the 4th book in the spy thriller series . Has anyone read any books in this series? I really enjoy his writing style. Any comments on the series? I am curious to know which one you liked best. My favorite one has to be #1...

Here's the document I was referring to. The quote is on page 2 of the document. http://www.davincilegacy.com/Infringement/RH-filings-022505/%282005-02-25%29%20Perdue%20-%20Pltf%20MOL.pdf

If you look at the actual document where I got the quote, erudite is a quote from someone else, and I guess it means characterized by specialized knowledge. Well, it's a bit above me anyway. I think Random House is also comparing Legacy. They mention Legacy in the fillings. I was posting...

hi, I just borrowed this book from the Library to read so that I can discuss it you you guys and all I can say is: Wow! It's a BIG book! :D

Yes, I agree that the writing styles have nothing to do with plagiarism, but I just wanted to mention it. Do you mean characters, plots, events? The main similarity I think is that the protagonists are trying to find something, that if discovered and divulged, would rock the foundation of...

I just finished reading the Janson Directive. It's the first Robert Ludlum book I read. I really liked most of it, but I didn't like the ending. Something was strange about the book too. It was actually published after he died, so maybe it wasn't all his. Maybe his editor or someone finished...

double, double... cute, eh? :) Thanks. You all seem like a great bunch of people!!

Hi, Can we suggest non-fiction books here? If so and if you liked the Da Vinci Code, then how about: Rosslyn: Guardian of the Secrets of the Holy Grail? Book Description The first book to explore the significance of seven pre-Christian sites, which formed the route of a pilgrimage...

Hi, I'm in Ontario, Canada. So in the middle? I'm don't follow hockey so I can't really comment on the Maple Leafs. :o (don't throw those tomatoes!!) :)

Hi, It's great to find a place to discuss books and authors. I'm into lots of different books, but recently into spy thrillers. Look forward to talking with you!

I've read The Da Vinci Legacy and The Daughter of God by Lewis Perdue as well as The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. I found that the writing styles and stories were very different. My opinion is that there is no plagiarism in this case. There are some similiarities, but I found that many of...
