I liked reading the John Grisham books, although it takes about 100 pages to get into them and the constant law gets abit boring for a range of themes. Bryce Courtenays Power of One is a favourite and its sequal Tandia is ok. I really liked all of Dan Brown's, especially Deception point which was excellent and Matt Reilly's Ice station is a really good fast paced cant put down book, though not authored to the likes of Brown, Courtenay etc. I've started reading the Yr9 text called Point Blanc which is pitched at a Yr9 level but so far seems like a good read. The Yr9's in my house seem to be enjoying it, even those that don't usually read much.
