Putting aside Dan Brown's merits (or lack thereof) as an writer and looking at purely in the context of the other books he's written... it's better than Deception Point, but that's the best thing I can say about it. He employs the usual tactics of short chapters, twists and cliffhanger surprises to keep you turning the pages, and in that respect it's entertaining enough I guess. But the final twist was predictable, the big reveal was lame as lame can be, the Masons just plain aren't that interesting (or even that secret), and Washington DC doesn't have the same kind of ancient/hidden history as Rome or Paris - there was nothing in the book that the average tourist wouldn't have learned on a visit. So compared to Angels and Demons or The Da Vinci Code, Lost Symbol falls pretty flat.

Anyway, just finished Spin by Robert Charles Wilson.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney!

Yeah, it's a kid's book, but it's hilarious.  I think all ages would enjoy it.  The illustrations are what really make the book.

I am currently reading "The Chef" by Martin Suter and still Stephen King "Under the Dome". Why do I always read several books at once.

So you don't get bored too quickly of one book?  Who knows...

Several books at once helps me to think, especially if they're on different topics.  Besides it's fun and exciting; how many people say that they can read more than on book at once?  I'm known for reading 2 books in a weekend or reading more than one book at once; the most that I've ever done at one time was 3. I just finished reading how capitalism will save us by Steve Forbes and now I'm reading In the beginning was the Word.
