I'm a little late...but...
boy am I a geek but I'm in the midst of reading some very stimulating articles in the latest issue of "Museum's Journal" from the UK - yea I work in a museum. There's a great article on wether it's writers or curators who control exhibition books. I know...yawn for many of you.
But I'm also reading "Here Be Dragons" by Sharon Kay Penman - book one of three on thirteenth-century England and Wales (historical fiction). I enjoy it but it's one of my fav genres.
Cheers

Here Be Dragons was a terrific book. I read it years ago myself. Is this a reread, or first time for you?

I read Cabinet of Curiosities and Still Life with Crows, two books by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. The main character is a special agent with the FBI, named Pendergast. You may recognise the author's names or Pendergast from a movie called "The Relic", which was based on the first Pendergast book of the same name. (I haven't seen it, or read it - yet!)
Pendergast is assigned to the New Orleans field office, but seems to have a heck of a lot of leeway in his cases. In Cabinet of Curiosities, he basically just assigns himself to the case! During demolition of an old building in New York, the crew finds some underground rooms and go to investigate. They find a charnal - lots and lots of old human bones. Pendergast shows up quickly and grabs an unwilling archaeologist from the NY Museum and heads to the site before it can be shut down and covered up. Thus begins a tale of X-Filesy proportions. I loved the book, but didn't think much of Pendergast - who other reviewers
