I have to decide on a new book to read by tomorrow, but I am not sure what I would like to read. Some books that I have read lately and enjoyed are The Kite Runner and The DaVinci code. Could anyone recommend a book for me?

The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. Most everyone who likes the Davinci Code likes this book.

I loved Angels and Demons, actually more than Da Vinci Code. Also a good one, The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield. Really spellbinding, I couldn't put it down. Anything by Stephen Lawhead is incredible, if you are interested in the Arthur legends then his Pendragon cycle is for you. He also just released a book called Hood which is the first in his King Raven series, an adaptation of the Robin Hood legend which is fantastic, another that I couldn't put down. And Wicked by Gregory Macguire is phenomenal as well, follows the "life and times of the wicked witch of the west."

the prequel to the Davinci Code is Angels and Demons, i hear it is as good as the Davinci Code, i have it but haven't gotten to it yet, i have been trying to get thru all of Clive Cusslers books so i will be ready for the next new one, but since i have now become addicted to yahoo Answer, i am not reading as much, i have only read two books this week instead of my usual four

Try "Angelhair" by Joseph Noga. The story is a psychological thriller and a real page turner as they say. You can read a free preview of the book on the authors website www.joenoga.com so check it out and if you like the book help me spread the word of this good book around. Enjoy the read

I can suggest two books that are my favorites. One is Roots by Alex Haley, one of the best books i have ever read in my life . The other is The Five People You Meet In Heaven. Very interesting take on the afterlife.

Pick anything by John D. MacDonald especially the Travis McGee books there are only 21 and they start with "The Deep Blue Goodbye". As you may know they are all colors and the prose is just out of this world.

Try John Steinbeck "Travels with Charlie" a common place book but interesting.
Or John Milton "Paradise Lost" a brilliantly written book with a tremendous philosophy and fits today as well.

Angel and Demons by Dan Brown is even better than Da Vinci Code.
Another authour I like is Sandra Brown: 'Chill Factor' is really good!
