Answer 3

If you liked the Dan Brown books, especially Da Vinci Code, you might want to check out Chris Kuzneski. I just finished Sign of the Cross and it was so much better than Dan Brown's book. I couldn't put it down. Finished it at 1:30 am this morning and discovered that his heroes were first introduced in another book called The Plantation. Which I will buy next. He also has a third book coming out soon too.

Answer 4

Tell them that you appreciate that they are concerned with your well being but that religion is a very private issue that you should be able to decide for yourself. While you are under their roof read the book and tell them your thoughts but only what you feel comfortable discussing. Remember no one can force words out of your mouth. Now with that said go find some books that you want them to read and see how they like being forced to think like someone else.

Answer 5

Well, I haven't actually read any of the books you've listed, although Inkspell and Inkheart are on my 'need to read' list, as are Eragon and Eldest.
