"The DaVinci Code" by Robert Brown
"Angels and Demons"
"Digital Fortress"
All those are really good.
Another good one is called "Everything Changes" I can't remember who it is by, but it's a real quick read and it's great!!!! One of my favorite books!

I advise reading the Drizzt Do'Urden series by R. A. Salvatore. Start with the Dark Elf Trilogy (Homeland, Exile, and Sojourn [I think those were the names....long time ago]). Then read Crystal Shard and go on from there.
The Harry Potter series is good too. Overrated by the public, but still good books.
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card is good aswell. Then Xenocide is the next book. I haven't read the rest of them, but I've been advised to do so. I will cuz the first two were great.
When I can think of some more, I will suggest them.

I've been reading The Postman by David Bryne.
Its the book the Kevin Costner movie is based off of, (the book is far better for those who hated the movie) its a really good post apocolypse story.

Soldier Boys :: by Dean Hughes
Quote:
quoted by Amazon.com
The premise of Hughes's (Family Pose) novel, the disillusionment of two idealistic boys one American, the other German who idealistically insist on hurrying into battle during WWII, proves more compelling than the somewhat uneven plotting and character development. The author effectively portrays the motivations of Hitler Youth leader Dieter, from his nascent aspirations at 10 to the brainwashed zealotry in the name of Hitler that leads him to lobby to be sent into combat at the age of 15. However, the back story describing the motivation of 17-year-old Spence, a Utah Mormon who joins the Airborne paratroopers to prove his toughness to the folks back home (especially one disinterested girl), feels cursory. The pace of the narrative quickens as the boys each experience the gut-wrenching and haphazard realities of war that challenge their starry-eyed, patriotic notions. Though some readers will find a few passages overblown (e.g., "None of this seemed like the stuff Spence had seen in the movies") and Spence's religious epiphany which leads to his rather convenient connection to Dieter implausible, others will appreciate this realistically harrowing depiction of the pointlessness of war. Ages 10-14.

the ending is sad..... :(

I highly suggest reading Slaughterhouse-Five (The Children's Crusade: A Duty-Dance With Death) by Kurt Vonnegut. I consider it to be the best novel of the 20th century, and given that Kurt is in heaven now (so it goes), there really isn't a better time to familarize yourself with his work and see what all the hubbub is about.
