You should look at the storyboard

But I recommend the time traveler's wife. That is my most recent favorite.

If you liked DaVinci Code, try Rule of Four. Similar vein, better written but more intellectual so not quite as grabbing.

Also:

Life of Pi (Yann Martel)
I Know This Much is True (Wally Lamb)
Brick Lane (Monica Ali)
The Secret Life of Bees (Sue Monk Kidd)

If you EVER need book suggestions, let me know. I'm a big book nerd

Hey There!!! Yeah, my time is almost here. Getting excited (and a little nervous).
What an appropriate title too!

Don't be nervous Andrea! Everything will be great! My wedding at Atlantica was like a dream wedding...they do such a nice job! Anyway, that book is good to read AFTER the wedding...because it is about a girl that hooks up with her best friend's fiance! It's really funny though and an easy read.

Oh, I don't like David Sedaris, he has a stupid sense of humor in my book. JMO.

The lovely Bones is great. Also White Teeth by Zadie Smith.

Geek Love - weird, but good
The God of Small Things - beautifully written
Kissing in Manhattan

Prayer for Owen Meaney is an excellent book.

I just got the America book by John Stewart and it's funny.

I am currently reading Along Came a Spider by Patterson. Although I've seen the movie it's still an excellent book.

'Stolen Lives' it a true story about a young girl who spent 20 years in a desert prison with her whold family. It's such a great book, I couldn't put it down!

OMG - Geek Love is one of my favorite books! I don't know anyone else who had read it (except DH who I made read it and then he loved it too.) Very bizarre but i thought really good. DH would like to see it made into a movie directed by Deavid Lynch

I second Memoirs of a Geisha - I loved that one.
The Stephanie Plum novels by Janet Evanovich - so much fun!!
Right now I'm in the middle of Confessions of a Shopaholic which is so silly, but really cute and I'm enjoying it.
