Books I've read recently include:
Tender at the Bone, very solid & a fast read; The Sushi Economy, some fantastic stuff about tuna, and some great chef profile stories of Nobu Matsuhisa and of Tyson Cole, of Austin, TX; The Namesake, which is wonderful but really sad; and YES, I read the DaVinci Code, and I enjoyed it, even though I hated the ending, but not nearly as much as I hated the entire movie.
I liked "Deception Point" out of Dan Brown's similar series. I saw a couple of complaints about his English language problems but I didn't notice obviously because I read it all in Japanese.

I loved The Namesake, too. I didn't see the film because I was sort of afraid it'd never be able to capture the book....

I added The Namesake and Sushi Economy to my own reading lists for things to pick up in the future.
No matter how many books I read (and it's a lot), I never seem to make any progress. :-D
