Percolations

Even though I am still reading The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown (I am one hundred pages in and it is just now getting it's hook into me), I’ve decided to set up a stack of waiting-to-be-read books. These are my next adventures:

The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie has been haunting me ever since I first saw it about two weeks ago. It simply will not let go. Ever heard the saying that a book picks its reader and not the other way around? Well, here you have it. I am as innocent as the main character who just happens to be eleven, and just happens to be smack-dab in the middle of a mystery


Because I just loved The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, I couldn’t help but scoop-up another helping of Kate Di Camillo. This one is about a young boy, a fortuneteller and an elephant. Such an unexpected pleasure as this is not my usual taste in books. But then, don’t you just love unexpected pleasures?

As I understand it, this gothica is one creepy and frightfully suspenseful labryrinth into the neurosis of a murderous family. Right up my alley, and I can’t wait to be enveloped!

H.P. Lovecraft is considered a grandmaster of horror fiction. This collection of short stories is written in antiquarian prose and archaic vocabulary.

I did not choose this book so much for the actual stories than for the man who wrote them. Some authors’ lives intrigue me more than others, and I MUST get into their heads. Ergo, their words.

When these books arrive, I will probably read DiCamilla first, but for now, it's back to Robert Langdon and some pretty interesting facts(?) about the Freemasons.
