I read The Secret of the Talpiot Tomb:Unraveling the Mystery of the Jesus Family Tomb - by Gary Habermas. Very interesting! I believe they have found the right tomb. I recommend that everyone read Dianetics by L.Ron Hubbard.Its an excellent book that really can change your life for the better.

I'm reading The Romanov Prophecy. Is that about the Romanov Family? Russian Monarchy? i believe it might be...not sure...but they are the only Romanovs Ive heard of. just that alone makes it sound like a good read. I'm intrigued, have to make a trip the the library tomorrow

Msfytz Yes the Romanov prophecy involves the family but he writes current times following up research and hidden secrets so it's not really historical fiction dealing with the family per se And I have to ask or you Mainstream Bookstore employee or small independant ???

Fiction: Just finished reading my son's "The Magician", sequel to "The Alchemyst". Rather enjoyed those. Currently reading "Up Country" by Nelson DeMille Non Fiction: Re-read "A briefer History of Time" by Stephen Hawking. A very entertaining and interesting read. I just looked up "The Alchemyst" and am thinking I'll go check it out. It looks interesting.

In the last month or so, I've read "Rob Roy" by Sir Walter Scott, "Tarzan of the Apes" by Edgar Rice Burroughs, and "Physics of the Impossible" by Michio Kaku. Really liked Tarzan and Physics, Rob Roy was a pain. the Scottish dialogue was impossible, and the main character was a bore, though he'll never realize it.

Keep in mind that it's targeted for juveniles, but I try to read most of what my kids read... if nothing else so that we have something to talk about. And I did enjoy it.
