I've taken a break with Vanity Fair. It just takes so long. Which is usually fine, but I have a couple books out from various libraries across town. Also, while I'm in the throes of research, I don't want a book that I have a rate of 30 pages an hour (okay, that's hyperbole, but barely). I jumped on the bandwagon of Dan Brown.
I am currently reading Angels and Demons. Much different than Thackeray, I can tell you that much. Since last night, I have read near 350 pages. Much different than Thackeray. I don't know why I thought that Brown's books where going to be denser. Yes, they have lots of little known info about art and history. But... I guess I mean that it isn't a profoundly difficult plot. It isn't hard to keep up or to predict the next move. That being said, I am highly entertained by it all. I have heard the Indiana Jones comparisons and those make sense to me now.
Sadly, that's what drove me to reading dear ol' Dan. Everyone else is doing it. Here's hoping people don't start jumping off bridges...
