Now onto "Holy Blood and the Holy Grail".

Some interesting stuff, but there are (ironically) some real leaps of faith in the way that they connect some facts to infer others, which weakens the arguments a little IMHO.

For example "X lived in A in XXXX, Y lived in B, 10 miles away, in XXXX, and both were of similar social standing therefore they must have known each other, even though there is no corroborative evidence to support this. But if we assume this to be true, then ..."

Think of it as more of a hypothesis and less of a history text.

I've been reading "Sputnik no koibito" by Haruki Murakami. I'm almost done. The beginning of the book was a little boring, but it's getting pretty interesting near the end with this strange sudden infusion of creepy supernatural bizarro stuff. I think once I finish reading this, I'll start reading "Hashire Merosu" by Osamu Dazai.

Finishing up the last book of the Blood Curse trilogy for Vampire the Masquerade. Very nerd-tastic, but its the literary equivalent of a Jerry Bruckheimer/Micheal Bay movie. Quick with no substance.

Just returned Animal Farm and Catch-22 to the library today. Great books.
