I'm half way through The Charlemagne Pursuit and I don't think it is as good as some of the others I have read.
Probably finish in in the next couple of days but the bad thing is I don't have anything lined up yet - will have to go to the book shop under the pretense of going to work.
(I work from home so the only reason I go to the "office" is to visit either the library, book shop or the record shop)
