If anyone likes reading about Middle Eastern/Israeli History I can make a list here.

But you must start with The Prime Ministers
I'd love to see your list.

I didn't read Deception Point. Though I would put Digital Fortress after The Da Vinci code. The lost symbol would def go last, seems like he's past his prime.
I actually enjoyed the lost symbol, it was kinda diffrent.

Couldn't put it down

Although there are some historical facts said to the author in the book, which may be a bit on the selective memory side.

The DaVinci code has some pretty weird "facts" about the beis HaMikdash.

I'm looking for a book that would teach me how to properly understand a real estate prospectus.
Any recommendations?

Might be good.
Although if you're reading that, you should definitely read this classic.
Awesome book recommended for anyone who wants to improve himself.

Just read Homeland and thought it was kinda freaky but also thought it was a bit far off, till I saw this video. Gosh What's this country coming too?

Just saw that Dan Brown has a new book coming out in May. Hope it's better than his last book, and more like his first ones.
