    thats quite good.

    i also like james patterson novels.
    he is a similar genre to Nelson Demille.
    Used to read a lot of Tom Clancy stuff but not so much now.

    You might be interested in Mother Tounge. It's the history of the English language. Fascanating.

    Been there done that. Great book.

    Tom Clancy used to be my favourite author but The Bear and the Dragon was his last good book. Still, a bloody good writer.

    A few more off the shelf:

    My Sisters Keeper - Jodi Picoult - suprisingly good read

    Blood Work - Michael Connelly - LA detective fiction - read any of his books but like Patricia Cornwall, better to start at the beginning.

    The Whole Shebang - Timothy Ferris - science writing about the state of the Universe (he's worried it's failing some unit standards )

    Blind Mans Buff - Sontag and Drew - true submarine adventures during the Cold War
