    Kite Runner and Time Travelers Wife are both recent reads and are pretty good.

    ^Vagabond, which translation of The Art Of War are you reading, and how do you like it?

    I'm just wrapping up The Art of War. I've recently read The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, which is quite good. Cliche at times, but nevertheless a great read. Also just finished A colloection of poems by Pablo Neruda.

    I have the John Minford translation/analysis book. I don't read his analysis, just Sun Tzu's actual words. Minford does a good job translating As for the content, I've always been a student of military and combat philosophy, so the Art of War is like *THE* book to read, hence I really enjoy it

    I am now on my third John Lescroart novel, basically John Grisham style books but actually good.

    13th Juror
    The Motive
    and now reading Guilt.

    Some other authors that I enjoy are Robin Cook and Steve Martini.

    Read the Dan Brown books also, what bothered me was that I read A&D before Da Vinci Code. If you like Sci-Fi stuff, check out William Gibson.
