I finished yet another book, The Darwin Conspiracy by John Darnton. I found this one during one of my last weekends in the states. I didn't need another book, but it looked like a really good read on my deployment.Without telling you too much, it centers around a secret diary by Charles Darwin's daughter, Lizzy. The diary is fiction, discovered by fictional characters, but is used as a device to explore Darwin's famous voyage on the HMS Beagle. The historical characters are real. The outcome, like The Da Vinci Code, must not be taken too seriously, but it is fine storytelling.
It did not disappoint. If you liked the The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown I highly suggest this book.

I feel like your site is becoming Reading Rainbow for adults. :) I can't wait to read this book since you keep telling me how much I will enjoy it.
Cool. I'll have to read that. If you like that kind of stuff, also try The Last Templar by Raymond Khoury.
Ben, Ben, Ben
I am a little jealous. You have read so much lately. I keep falling asleep when I get home and can't start a book without dozing off (Except Walter the Farting Dog). To be young and awake again. I haven't even been onto your blog for awhile. That's a good read too. Miss you. Love
