Picked it up for cheap last night at Borders and wanted a quick, mindless read.

I just finished The Ghost by Robert Harris today during my lunch break. It was a fast paced thriller and I think fans of the author will not be disappointed. It has a bitter sweet ending reminiscent of the author’s previous works.

EDIT to add:

Managed to pick up a copy of Thomas Perry's Pursuit from my local Borders over the weekend and started on it last night. snapped this one up solely based on the praise some members of this forum heaped on it. About 50 pages in right now and it's pretty good so far.

It was good, but not great. Maybe I was supposed to read it in 8th grade.

I enjoyed the book, but I have one gripe; the book was too short! The Basilica took 100+ years to build and that was all condensed in to 300 pages!

It is a nice quick read, I found the Michelangelo parts fascinating and I found it amusing that they had to tear down a 1200 year old building that Emperor Constantine built to make way for the Basilica, which I'm sure caused a massive S#@t storm!

All in all I do recommend the book.

I was able to get an Advance Readers Copy of Snuff. It's actually pretty good - a little short(not even 200 pages), but it's all Chuck. I don't want to spoil anything for anyone so all I'll say is that it ranks right up there as one of his most shocking novels to date. Anyone who enjoyed the Chuck of old - ie Fight Club, Survivor, Invisible Monsters - will enjoy this one immensely.

Right now I'm reading:

Tomorrow I'll be reading from a big old book of Petrarch's sonnets. After that, something from Kipling. And through it all I'll be peeking at Leo Strauss's History of Political Philosophy.
