Nice contest. One of my hobbies is reading.
This year I've read
I'm not a Serial Killer - Dan wells: it is a novel about a boy who is confused about his killer instics.
Now i'm reading "La noche del Oráculo" - Paul Auster, about human relationships and all the fear we feel when we are sick.
I agree with you, the best I ever read are dan brown's books. What do you think about the movies? I like them too. Also Anne Rice's books.
And my favorite's book were Interview with the Vampire :D
