Secret of Secrets by Dan Brown - I keep hoping that he'll come up with another DaVinci Code but this is not it. Wound up skipping page after page just to get through it. He's a bit like a magazine, ads running throughout every page........ ;and I'm sick of his Mickey Mouse watch. I mean, what the hell?

Anima Rising by Christopher Moore - a very entertaining mix of Dr. Frankenstein, his monster and Judith (the monster's wife), Gustav Klempt, his models (Wally in particular), Sigmund Freud and Karl Jung. As good as anything else he's written... just a fun, fun read.

Rules of Civility by Amor Towles - author of 'Gentleman from Moscow", which is on my list of greatest books I've ever read, has done another excellent novel. This one from the perspective of a young woman making her way in New York of the 30's. Excellent development of her character over span of years and a surprisingly beautiful book on civility (as in Gentleman) from the perspective of a woman.. Really well done and I love the actual 'Rules" as per George Washington.
