... to the audio book and loved it.
In terms of thrillers I've really enjoyed the Pendergast series (Relic, Reliquary, Cabinet of Curiosities, etc.) by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. Sort of detective mysteries with a creepy supernatural twist.
And a comic nonfiction I'd ... ... addicted to buying books.
So far I've read:
1. Special Topics in Calamity Physics
2. Bank by David Bledin
3. Cabinet of Curiosities
I'm working on The Terror and Big Boned.
... anything, but I love their books. (Oddly, I've tried reading their solo novels and hated them...) My favourite was The Cabinet of Curiosities, but Relic and Reliquary were pretty good too. ... good one from the Camulod Chronicles. I'm having to read them out of sequence, though, so that kind of messes me up.

Jurassic Park ... A special favorite is The Cabinet of Curiosities by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. ... Needful Things, Gorky Park, Pride and Prejudice, Mystic River, The Vampire Lestat, I, Claudius, Phantom and The Cabinet of Curiosities. ... Head wasn't bad, although it left some things VERY unresolved. It was fun seeing how Nora and Smithback met, since I read Cabinet of Curiosities (where they were moving in together) a few months back. I enjoy Preston & Child's fiction, as mind candy. I'm trying to find a copy of Douglas Pre ... ... you might want to read the Pendergast series from Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child. In order they go
Relic
Reliquary
Cabinet of Curiosities
Still Life With Crows
Brimstone

The series starts with Relic and the most recent is The Book of the Dead. Probably the best one is Cabinet of Curiosities though. You could read it as a standalone novel, but then you'd be sucked in, too. They're written like overblown 40's radio or movie serials and ...
