Hahah. Yeah, Hollywood almost always changes something in order to attract more moviegoers. Anyway, I also liked "The Testament" although parts of it were sometimes boring, but the story was great!!! Hahahah.

Why don't you try reading some Ludlum books. I think he's a great storyteller, and his novels somehow related to spies and some military stuff. I liked the "Tristan Betrayal" if you might want to try reading some of his works. And of course, "The Bourne" series.

i look into, as the tristna betrayal sounds good. ive heard it somewhere before. as for the bourne series, they never really sucked me in to the story, movies were alright, but the books just didnt grab me. i forgot to mention that im also reading a few patrick robinson books, such as kilo class and nimitz class. both are pretty good.

My favorite books at the moment are the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind:

Twilight has fallen upon the three kingdoms, a gray time that could fortell eighter dawn or descent into bitter night. Richard Cypher, woodsman and warrior, is chosen to bear the powerful sword of truth, but his enemy, Darken Rahl, is a royal mage who commands armies, hideous beasts and more terrible by far, a twisted magic.
Goodkind tells the compelling story of a magical world that mirrors our own. a world in which goodness and honesty are besieged by the forces of darkness and deceit. Richard Cyphers odyssey is a journey of the outmost risk and uncertain reward for the sake of love, itīs a journey into the darkness of the human soul.

thatīs a description of the first book in the series, there are eleven books I think.

I'm currently reading Rollback by Robert J. Sawyer. I like all books written by Agatha Christie, especially And Then There Were None. I'm planning to read My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult.

O.o why were you so dissapointed with the ending? I loved the ending! Although it did leave a lot of things unanswered, but still...^^

But I'm currently reading nothing (manga all around). Waiting for the next book from Darren Shan's Demonata series to come out, but that's pretty much it. (And I suppose you can count it, but... Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows... yea go on, laugh. It just happened to come out last Friday in Finnish so I bought it for my collection lol.

But all in all everything that has come out the following people's pens I've read: J.K.Rowling (Harry Potter), Eoin Colfer (Artemis Fowl, Th Wish List, etc...), Darren Shan (The Darren Shan saga, The Demonata, etc...) and Dan Brown (The Da Vinci Code etc...). A lot of other books too, but they're not so significant(?).

But what really bothers me is that why the heck doesn't anyone know where to get the Kyou Kara Maou light novels! It's really bugging me these days you know.

I just want to add Anne Bishop and her The Black Jewels Trilogy.

Holy bejeezus, this is definitely one of the best series I have ever read.
I would totally recommend it to anyone here who's into the whole fantasy with Romance and stuff. >_<

Right now... my favourite book and the one i'm currently reading is Maximum Ride by James Patterson. It's exhilerating, incredible and... relatible. I reccommend it to those looking for a good read.
