Well, last time I said I was going to read Zen and the ARt of Motorcycle Maintenence but that got shelved for the time being.

Instead, I just finished The Lost Symbol by, yes I know, Dan Brown. I can't say it was terrible since I breezed through it and was entertained, but the twist sucked (called it a good 200 pages before it was revealed) and the actual Mystery - and therefore half of the plot catalyst - really stunk. It was like he wrote a book to appease all the religious people he "offended" with his last books. It wasn't that it was religious it just didn't have a point. And the Lost Symbol was laughable at best.

Now going to start James Rollins' The Doomsday Key - his are always more entertaining than Dan Brown's. And they're also more science oriented which may account for my liking them more.

Then to follow that I'm going to either:
1) Pick back up Zen & Motorcycles
2) Get Dawkins' The Greatest Show on Earth
3) Start Phillip Pullman's The Golden Compass series again after reading the first one a couple years ago but never continuing.
