I recently finished James Rollins The Judas Strain. Loved it, as I did Black Order too. And he's got a new one coming out in July sometime.

That guy sure can pump out books. I read a couple a few years ago. Subterranean and something else. Hopefully we got some Rollins movies eventually.

I actually contacted the publisher about securing the rights. If only I had the $$, I think I could make a killer movie with Black Order.

has anyone read that new Anne Rice book about Jesus? I was curious if it was any good or if it was just another Jesus book

I've read Darwinia and The Chronoliths by him, but wasn't very impressed by the latter one. If he won a Hugo for this one, I'll have to give it a look.

I've recently been trying to re-read Dhalgren by Samuel R. Delany. I still don't get it.

It's named for an influential 1920's-1930's author, Hugo Gernsback. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_Award_for_Best_Novel For people that like a great piece of fiction, but don't generally care for Sci-Fi, I recommend A Canticle for Liebowitz by Walter Miller, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein, Dune by Frank Herbert, Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card, or American Gods by Neil Gaiman.

Happy to help. The only dumb question is the one that remains unasked. Unless it's asked by Nick Athan.

If you liked that one, you might try Earth Abides by George Stewart, or Miller's A Canticle for Leibowitz. They are both excellent books with solid variations on the theme, if a bit dated.
