Topic: RE: Recommend Davinci Code!!!!!!!!!!

Dan Brown rocks!! Try Angles and Demons too. Robert Langdon is the main character again. It starts out almost the same, but it is really good too. Now, I am reading Digital Fortress, also by Dan Brown. So far, it is ok. I am onlyl a few chapters in, so we shall see. I do have some books about the scared feminine if anybody is interestsed in buying them. I was obcessed with Mary M. for a while after reading The Da Vinci Code... Email me if you are interested...

Topic: RE: What are you reading?

I read Tami Hoag, most of her books are about lawyers and criminal cases. Also, Ann Rule (she does True Crime-VERY GOOD!), Sue Grafton, Scott Turow, Preston A Pairo III and Patricia Cornwell. For your basic murder/mystery I would suggest Robert B Parker, JA Jance, Mary Higgins Clark, Stuart Woods, and Kay Hooper. I love to read!!!

You can e-mail me

if you want specific recommendations from any of these authors. I have a million books, too bad you don't live closer.

Topic: JRR Tokein's Books

Is this forum just for books about WLS? Is there a forum for movies and other forms of entertainment? Just asking. I read most of the Hobbit books by JRR Tolkein. I did not finish the very last one because someone told me how it ended, and I could not bear to read it. Beth

Topic: RE: The Mists of Avalon

I have read Forest House and the other prequel to Mists. Yes, they were good, but I think Mists is the most widely known. I love her work. Did you see the TV movie that came out a couple of years ago? Some of my friends were disappointed that it left so much of the book out, but I think it covered the essentials, and I liked it. I taped it, and now I see it can be purchased. I am so glad to meet you, by the way. I go by my second name Beth. I always have. I am always excited to find someone who sees beyond what we've been taught. I wonder what teeny tiny Vivienne would have thought of WLS? They probably knew all kinds of remedies for everything. I would love to go there someday and just "feel" the place. Now that I will be able to fit into a plane seat, I think I will make going to Avalon/Glastonbury one of my goals. I really like the forums at Obesityhelp.com. I hope this one "picks up," because reading is one of my favorite pasttimes. Beth

Topic: The Mists of Avalon

Has anyone else been priviledged enough to read this treasure? I think any woman *****ads it will never be the same. I experienced the same thing when I saw the "Joy Luck Club." I found both very feminine empowering. Beth

Topic: RE: Recommend Davinci Code!!!!!!!!!!

After being addicted to Dean Koontz books for a couple of years, I desperately needed a change. My mom, niece, and I drove to Florida this past weekend, and The Da Vinci Code was on the back seat. I picked it up and could not put it down. I liked it so much, I went to Barnes and Noble and bought Dan Brown's 3 previous books. How exciting and refreshing! And how wonderful that Obesityhelp.com has this forum message board. I love reading, and I love sharing what I read. Beth
