I read these recently.


	Angels and Demons Author: Dan Brown ISBN: 0552150738	It's the prequel to the ubiquitous Da Vinci Code. I much prefered it, the suspense is about the same, but the plot is spot on. I also learned an awful lot about the Vatican... of course this is Dan Brown so it's probably a load of twallop...

	Atlantis Author: David Gibbins ISBN: 0755324226	Not bad really, as books go, it's not an epic. And you can put it down whenever you like. But the story is quite interesting and the imagery is excellent. http://www.davidgibbins.com/ he has a funny name.

	Build Your Own PC Author: R. A. Penfold ISBN: 0859345343	I already knew how to build a PC, but Penfold has included a lotof background information and history that I'd have otherwise never have learned. It's easy to follow and not too out of date - even if you think you can already build, read the book.

	Deception Point Author: Dan Brown ISBN: 0552151769	No Robert Langdon in this one. Instead of history and religion,Browny tries his hand at a believable, totally realistic, government conspiracy for Deception Point, and so, it's an work of complete fiction. He reckons the US has guns that can make ammo...

	Mr Bean's Diary 1993 Author: Mr Bean ISBN: 1852837683	It's like... all hand drawn and stuff and funny as hell, read it. It's amazingly good.

	MYST The Book of D'ni Author: Rand Miller with David Wingrove ISBN: 078688942x	Just like the games, the novel is fascinatingly detailed and agonisingly boring. It's deep as you like, and despite being shorter than most books in the genre, it drags on for yonks.

	Night Watch Author: Sergei Lukyanenko ISBN: 1401359795	Awesome stuff, watch the films too, but remember that they're only inspired by the books. I read this in ebook format on my phone and must have looked like some text-crazed communication maniac. It's very well thought through, and NOT what it looks like.

	The Day Watch Author: Sergei Lukyanenko ISBN: 0434014435	Sequel to Night Watch, again it uses a sequence of small stories each of which build on the last. This series really does have everything, and I found that Day Watch was translated a little better than Night Watch.

	The Last Secret of the Temple Author: Paul Sussman ISBN: 0553814052	You thought The Da Vinci Code was good? The Last Secret of the Temple is about a gazillion times better. It's smarter, longer, more colourful and the characters are much more detailed.

	The Very Best of Monty Python: The essential gags, sketches and songs, individually selected and introduced by the Python team Author: Monty Python ISBN: 0413776158	It's funny.
