Inferno by Dan Brown tops the Baltimore County Public Library system's most-borrowed adult fiction books for the month of October, but James Patterson held three of the top 10 spots with Second Honeymoon, Mistress and Gone.
I just started reading Brown's Digital Fortress, published in 1998, so I'm just a little behind the times.
Bill O'Reilly has two books on the most-borrowed nonfiction list, and Baltimore Countians continue to read The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, about a Turner Station woman whose cancer cells were unknowingly (at least to her family) at the global forefront of cancer and other medical research.
What are you reading? Let us know in the comments section below.
