Its probably the most interesting book out of the work library (which is just donated books, and most people read crap.. :/).

Its not bad. I'm about 100 pages in, and its kept my interest. Not my usual genre though.
(I like funny and weird books, like Robert Rankin and Ben Elton)

I really wish there was some good books to read there. It would be nice to have a proper literary discussion with someone.
(I used to do English Literature at A level. I just loved reading and discussing books in depth. Frankenstein and Beloved were pretty damn good once you explored the context and the symbology)

I've been tempted to buy a book reader, and load it up with recommended books to read. But being the gamer that I am, I'll probably just give up after one or two books! XD

(I've always wanted to write stories though. I remember loving that as a kid. And I did write a little segment in a thread before to relieve stress and boredom. I didn't think it was such a bad effort considering I haven't written anything beforehand for years! XD)

Eh, I guess I'm not a book man. I'm open minded, but I couldn't fill all my time up with Anime, Books, AND Videogames. I have to switch between them from time to time.
I've heard of Coben's works in the thriller genre. Being a fan of thrillers, I'll check out "The Innocent".
