I know most of you reading this are college students and you most likely don’t have much extra time for reading. And I also know that after spending days facedown in an accounting or calculus book the last thing you might want to do is read, I feel your pain. Try some fiction reading, it’s a good way to clear your mind without the numbness brought on by sitting on the couch, drooling and staring at your TV. Here are a few of my favorite fiction books released in 2009.
The Girl Who Played With Fire – Stieg Larson – This novel is the 2nd in a Swedish crime series created by Stieg Larson. Mr. Larson died before publishing the entire series but left behind the manuscripts. Until recently the books have not been available in the US. This book is a great crime thriller that is guaranteed to keep you turning pages in anticipation.
The Lost Symbol – Dan Brown – This book is a great read; Dan Brown has a skill of combining nail biting suspense with all different kinds of facts to think about. This book has been said to be the best in the series of Robert Langdon novels that people all over the world have come to enjoy
Wolf Hall – Hilary Mantel – A great novel about the history of England and King Henry VIII, the story is told through the perspective of a poor man turned advisor to the king. This book is a wonderful look into the history of England I recommend it to all of my readers.
I, Alex Cross – James Patterson – With this book being #16 in the Alex Cross series people seem to think the character is a little overused but I loved this book from beginning to end. It follows Detective Alex Cross as he attempts to uncover the identity of the Zeus serial killer. Great thriller, hard to put down.
