Recent Reading
It has been a while since I commented on what I've been reading, in part because I haven't been reading as much lately as I usually do for a variety of reasons, but I have been reading.
Sometimes I'll find myself thinking about a book I've previously read and I decide to read it again. Recently I felt like rereading Dan Brown's "Angels and Demons" so I dug it out and enjoyed the story again. Also reread "The Eight" by Katherine Neville.
I first read "The Eight" years ago and if you enjoy or historical fiction, thrillers and/or chess I recommend giving it a try. "The Eight" is a fictional story that revolves around the fabled chess set of Charlamange. Set in both the 1970's and the 1790's there are dual, interconnecting storylines populated by a lively set of characters both historical and fictional.
Also read the latest Hamish MacBeth mystery by M.C. Beaton, "Death of a Dreamer" which was a very amusing light little mystery. Beaton's Hamish MacBeth series is set in a little Scottish village and if you like British cozies you'll love Beaton's writing.
From the Star Trek universe just this week I read the latest two Starfleet Corps of Engineers eBooks, "Echoes of Coventry" and "Distant Early Warning". Both were enjoyable for different reasons and they'll get positive reviews as soon as I get a chance to write them up.
Next on my reading agenda is the new Peter Robinson novel, "Piece of My Heart". I just picked it up from the bookstore last night and I'm saving it for the weekend.
