Pick-and-Reads

Because of my frequent travelling in the last couple of months, I've been picking up so many books at the transit terminals on my stopovers.

My recent pick-and-reads (from upper left, clockwise):


1. LADY IN BLUE, by Javier Sierra: From the author of "The Secret Supper", discover a fascinating theory on how the Virgin Mary-like apparitions are done and controlled by the Church and the State. 2. THE NIGHT WATCH, by Sergei Lukyanenko: Part 1 of Russia's most famous contemporary trilogy on vampires, warlocks and enchantresses. Who is good and who is evil is a matter of perspective. 3. THE DAY WATCH, by Sergei Lukyanenko: Second part of the Nightwatch trilogy. Narrated from the perspective of the "Evil Side". 4. INFINITE CRISIS, by DC Comics: The Earth that we live in is only one of an infinite number of parallel Earths, and a hero-villain attempts to bring his Earth as the one that should exist.

5 and 6. SHADOWMARCH, and SHADOWPLAY, by Tad Williams: a fantasy novel trilogy. So far, so good. 7. THE ALEXANDRIA LINK. by Steve Berry: One of the 7 Wonders of the World, the Library of Alexandria is thought to be lost. Historical clues though suggest that it has been preserved in a secret location.
8. GUNS, GERMS, and STEEL, by Jared Diamond: a recipient of the Pulitzer prize, this book has opened my interest in anthropology. Know what tools and societal conditions enabled the conquest of one nation over another.

Oh, and in case anybody knows where I can get the book "I AM LEGEND", please do let me know. Been scrounging the bookstores for that book in the last 3 months. =)
