Angels and demons, another book by dan brown that is even better then the da vinci code but is often shadowed because da vinci code is more controversial!

Anything by Jeremy Clarkson. Very dry humour. Try the World according to Clarkson.
And I am sorry, but Angels and Demons was such a let down, Awesome Start and build up but such a bad ending. Sorry!
Oh, Dean Koontz is really good. Edge of the seat stuff!

King Fortis the Brave is perfect for holiday reading. About a pair of twins that are brought to a magical realm where they find themselves caught in a battle for control of the land. It's full of humor and action that you will love.

Some books I would recommend are
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
Dune by Frank Herbert
The Dante Club by I can't remember
Ender's Game and Dune are sci-fi
Dante Club is a mystery set in the 1800s or so

If you want a chill out holiday book try this Twenty Times A Lady - Karyn Bosnak. Very funny and quirky. Will get you to chill out on your deckchair no problem!

A nice light book to read on vacation would be "The Devil Wears Prada"--it doesn't get you as "involved" as others do. Otherwise, check out "Wicked" and other books by Gregory McGuire. Very fun and interesting!

If you like Fantasy I would go with King Fortis the Brave or Harry Potter.
