Still, Pessl's on my mind--got to get to it soon!<br /><br />JudithJudithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435116453270981662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-56685274610746227932013-10-03T01:09:08.769-04:002013-10-03T01:09:08.769-04:00Thank you for your comment.

When I think of what I read years ago, my mind boggles -- and much faster, too.<br /><br />I hope you mention a few of the historical points in the book. Maybe I'll look around the library or at Barnes and Noble just to look through it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-22380217542038759192013-10-02T19:59:23.428-04:002013-10-02T19:59:23.428-04:00Kathy,

Yes, Pessl's first book took some patience and a younger brain than I possess today, but I loved it.<br /><br />I'm so interested that you had the chance to see Reza Aslan on television, and I agree, I'm not at all put off by the fact that Fox TV criticized him. <br />And you're so right, it's the historical aspect that has me hooked on the book already, though I'm only up to page 50.

Reading Nesbo will probably be a good thriller experience, and Sue Grafton's book are always a vacation weekend to me.<br />Saw Reza Aslan on TV, and he seems like a very smart, well-informed person, who has come under some criticism, but to me, not by reputable sources (Fox TV).<br />I'd certainly look through the book if I saw it, not because of the religious aspect, but the historical information about the region and what was going on. Knowing more history can't hurt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
