Read “Road to Omaha” by Ludlum, “Blott on the Landscape” by Tom Sharpe.

Absolutely, The Road to Gandolfo ranks as one of the funniest; right up there with One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest!!!

Btw, have you guys seen the [Wikipedia page on Da Vinci Code][] ? There’s simply way too much information there than I can handle!! But it’s a worthwhile read.

Yeah, I entirely agree Praveen. Both those books are really awesome. The Bourne Identity movie was a total opposite compared to the book, they converted it into a typical action masala forgetting the whole plot by Ludlum which made reading the book such a pleasure.

There’s a Da Vinci Code fever going on in Bangalore. For once, I’m glad such a thing is spreading

I have read ‘Bourne Identity’ and ‘The Cry of The Halidon’ both ‘unputdownable’. In ‘Bourne Identity’ he tells the storey of Jason Bourne who forgets his past after his brain cells got re-arranged by a shot and in ‘The Cry of the Halidon’ he describes the tribe of Halidon and plan to hijack an entire nation [I don't remeber the names] …. The difference you see in Ludlum and most other thrillers is, IMHO from page 1 Ludlum make you feel the heat of it while most others you’ll have to read half or even more of it to get fully into it. The movie ‘Bourne Identity’ was really disappointing. You won’t get a clue of what is happening if you see the movie, but the novel was spectacular. Now everyone in the hostel is charmed by The Da Vinci Code.

I agree with the part of the hmm.. classification, but I feel this is not in the same league as ‘The Sigma Protocol’ or even ‘The Prometheus Deception’, but then again *most* books are usually not in the same league

Actually I was looking for H2G2 in the library, but Part 1 was taken, so I took this book. I’ll look for H2G2 today.

I think you’re being unfair – this book is probably one of the funniest I’ve ever read (after H2G2). I couldnt help but laugh when he classifies the women based on their…err.. Anyway, very.very different Ludlum. If you’re looking for a normal Ludlum book, you would be disappointed
