    I just wrapped up reading "Inferno" by Dan Brown. I'd say that's on the lower end of the Robert Langdon books. Loved "Angels & Demons" and "The Lost Symbol" (and might as well mention Brown's "Digital Fortress" too, even though it's not a Langdon book, because it was great) but this one was a little bit flat. It follows Da Vinci Code's running and second-guessing formula; which the other two Langdon books do as well but he seems a bit more on top of things in those.

    I did get really into it about half way through though. Was a page turner as things unraveled and revealed itself. But the beginning was ultra slow. A good deal of it is pretty predictable and then the ending was weird in how much nothing actually matter.

    So you're saying the upcoming movie adaptation is nothing to look forward to?

    My friend gave me Tales of Desparaux to read since I apparently remind her of the main character. It was a fun little read that I finished in one day. I liked it.

    The Lost Symbol would be a great movie and I'm disappointed they aren't doing it (or at least skipping it)

    I wrapped up reading "Trigger Mortis", the recent Bond throwback timeline book. For reasons I don't understand, the beginning of the book plays as a sequel to "Goldfinger" and brings back to character of Pussy Galore (yes, snicker away) as well as gold paint. The later portion of the book steps away from all this and is better for it. Even if the plot overall is fairly derivative of "Moonraker"

    And now I have no idea what to read next.

    ^ Hi, past self.

    As mentioned previously, I had finished Prey. I then started Sphere.
