New to the List:

• Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne
• The Hundredth Monkey by Ken Keyes Jr.
• The Truth by Michael Palin
• The Divine Comedy: Inferno by Dante Alighieri

I’ve been a bit slow with my reading the past few weeks, but I have read some pretty great things. Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne is one of my favorite books to date. I love the time period and it is classic adventure/travel. The Hundredth Monkey was quite interesting. Written during the Cold War era, it is an anti-nuclear weapons story and a very easy read. The Truth was great. It was about a writer who travels to India to learn the truth about the elusive Hamish Melville; I highly recommend it. Inferno, one of the great classics and a wonderful trip through hell 😉
