i've just been skimming through the thread.. what stood out to me was everyone who're bashing on renowned masterpieces like narnia and da vinci code because of all the mainstream media attention.

i'm willing to bet that all the controversial attention is the reason u raised ur expectations so high when reading them.. hence why u weren't impressed so decided to make a speal about them here in what i think is a demand for attention. i'm not saying this out of defence for these books.. i lost my interest in narnia when i reached puberty and i dont think da vinci code is one of dan brown's best novels (although i still enjoyed it). jst think some of u are bein unreasonable with ur criticism.. so if ur gonna attempt to read a controversial masterpiece because of that reason alone.. prepare to be disappointed.

anyway.. to stay with the topic of the thread.. i'm currently reading Deception Point by Dan Brown.

Shantaram by Gregory Roberts..

ive only read about 100 pages of this 900 page book, but honestly, it's so captivating..his descriptions are so realistic and rich, it's like you are himself. By the way, it is witty and very funny. :)

I was reading that but I had to stop half way because of King Lear. I don't exactly remember what the book is about anymore.
