hmm...do you guys don't read...I'm sure you do..
but whatever...well then I do some advertising..
at the moment I'm reading "no one thinks of Greenland" by John Griesemer...and well..I think it's brilliant..it's stirring cause it's based on reality/truth..and it's written with a snappy kind of humor..it makes you sad and angry at the same time and fascinates you in a strange way...actually it's about a secret us military base in Greenland in the 1960's where deeply injured and garbled soldats back in the days of the Korea war...fight their last big fight..it's about the persons working and dying there...
well...enough of advertising and nerving..:)))...

i dont know those.
but currently i am reading, the super hyped (and yet so far meritorious),
The Da Vinci Code by dan brown
i do however recommend reading the equally good prequel, Angels and Demons, before getting into the da vinci code.
