Surprisingly, a lot of fun!

So, I've been reading Oliver Bowden's "Assassin's Creed: Renaissance" and it's a really good book! I mean, really good. Fast paced and fun despite the gloomy summary. And I just love Leonardo Da Vinci here! Paraphrasing:

Ezio: What do we do with the body?
Leonardo: Oh, let's put it with the others *totally unruffled*
Ezio: The others? *sweatdrops*

And the fact that Leonardo got tangled up in an affair with a male prostitute doesn't hurt either, of course! :)

Ah. Indeed. Well, this doesn't remind me all that much of Russian literature--it reminds me very strongly of Les Miserables, actually, which I'm fairly sure was intentional. It's also written by an American, which I suspect is part of the slog-related chaos.

But I quite see your point. How about a nice book about an ADD traveling surfer (http://www.amazon.com/Chasing-Waves-Surfers-Obsessive-Wandering/dp/1594851131/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1265212491&sr=8-1) instead?

Way behind on the reviews.

:)) I'm on a manga trip these days. I bought a big pile of manga and I want to make a dent in it.
