Sadly, I don't read too many mysteries.
The Cat in the Hat was good, though!
;)
You should really pick a copy up!

Ooh - just found my old One Minute Mysteries with Dr. Haledjian.
Is it just me, or does Brown have way too much gory fun with religious people? (Don't answer that, I know it's on the verge of controversial.)
I haven't been to the boards that often lately, Faeryshan - what thread is it?
Haven't read any Cat books either, Hat or otherwise...

And Aislin - there ain't nothin' wrong with devouring a good book (with a side of Lady Grey and egg cookies... or pizza and beer...).

I must admit i did not care too much for Dan Brown, i could handle him better if he had more than one target. I do have two suggestions though for the crowd. For mysteries i would recomend Boris Starling, british author, only two books so far but very good and for a good historical type novel i would recomend Katherine Neville, she writes some very well researched and intelligent books, she should she is almost head of the IMF.

Maj- the thread with the Dan Brown and Da Vinci code stuff (GREAT thread) was started by Jstkdn and is a couple pages back on this Board. It's simply called Da Vinci Code.

The Eyre Affair is a really good book. I highly reccomend it.

Who's it by?
Another series just came to mind - anyone heard of Cam Jansen? (At least, I think that was her name.) Had a photographic memory and said "Click" every time she noticed something unusual?

I used to read Nancy Drew and Cam Jansen and Encyclopedia Brown when I was a kid. Mostly, since then, I've just watched lots of Christie mysteries on Mystery (tv show) or in movies or plays. If it's not in a form that I can digest in a couple hours, it loses the immediacy for me.
Anyway, I think Mystery is no longer being shown. Shame, really.

The Eyre Affair: is by Jasper Fforde. It is the first book in a series of equally excellent books Which as you may have noticed I really liked.

wireshaper: Next time I'm at Borders, I'll look it up.
Lomine: I've seen a coupla Mystery! shows - lately, they've featured Tony Hillerman books and a British detective in N. England around WWII. I miss Poirot, Brother Cadfael, and Heat of The Sun, though.
