Angels and Demons

by Dan Brown
Although the sequel to this book, The Da Vinci Code, is immensely popular, I found this book much more intriguing. It is a fast-paced detective drama that combines science, art, religion, and murder. Dan Brown takes you on a roller coaster journey that leaves you yearning for more of his work.

Airframe

by Michael Crichton
Airframe would make someone who is interested in aviation even more interested. This is the story of modern aviation, and the intrigue within one aircraft manufacturing company. This story moves at a breakneck pace and never loses the reader's interest.

The Godfather

by Mario Puzo
Its a rare novel that hooks the reader from the very first page, a novel to be savored and absorbed by the author's grim yet masterful prose. Through the pages of this book the reader is introduced to the shadowy world of organized crimemore importantly, to the fiercely interdependent workings of the mafia. Its the greatest novel of all time!

Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less

by Jeffrey Archer
A potpourri of deceit, humor, romance and revenge, this book is an awesome page-turner and one of my favorite Jeffrey Archer novels. I have read this book many times, but each time its like a fresh read.

Inheritance

by Judith Michael
This was one of the most compelling, vivid stories I have ever read. The characters and scenery come alive as the authors take you through a dozen or so years of this woman's lifeof her struggles, her redemption and triumph. It's about love lost and found, and the eternal spirit of a scorned, yet determined woman.
