The Art Thief

Wednesday. 11.9.11 9:01 am

I just finished book #22 this year, The Art Thief by Noah Charney.

I think it's a good book for leisure reading. Nothing too exciting to keep you up at night or away from your necessary duties but it isn't too boring to put you to bed either. It's a good mystery novel, because being me, I would totally jump straight to the end to see how to ends before going back to where I left off if it is really exciting. Didn't do that with this book, but doesn't mean it is bad. Though I did figure out who the mastermind is a few chapters before the author ties up all lose ends.

If I were to compare this to Steve Berry's books, it would not be such a great read because we all know how I cannot put them down. Then again, whenever we read something, it's either it is better than the best or it pales to a degree in comparison. Like Katy Perry's song that goes "Comparisons are easily done, once you've had a taste of perfection".

One thing that annoyed me with this book is that I would need to engage the help of Google Translator quite often because there are quite a number of conversations which are left in French and Italian. I didn't ask Google Translator for help, however, I just did a rough guess of what they might be talking about and move on.

Now the dilemma is... which book to read next. Prospero Falls or Bringing Nothing to the Party? Ironically, the latter was found in the Fiction section of a book fair and I just realised, a couple of weeks ago, that it is actually an Autobiography....

I bought two books a couple months ago that I have yet to read ... I really should get on with that. Especially due to the circumstance that I'm in now. I just haven't been in the mood.

re: thanks for the hugs. *hugs* back. I know things will get better. It's always just a matter of when.

I wonder too. Especially photography business nowadays :| *shrugs* They do what they can.

Personally, I don't think there's any business when I plug my friend on nutang =P But at least I've tried haha.

Wow, #22!
I feel so... un-accomplished. All my reading this year has been for school. X(
(And yet I've bought a good handful. But by the time I get enough time to read anything, I'm tired of staring at words [homework]... so I turn to Netflix.)

Congratulations! How does your number of books this year compare to last year?

re:comment
I think the kind of card game they were thinking of in the ad was a "normal" card game, using a classic deck of cards. Instead of, say, Yu-Gi-Oh or something.

I am SO looking forward to the end of this semester, at which time I will be free of classes and home work until I have one last online class that doesn't start 'til mid-January. So much will be enjoyed when I don't have to freak out about homework.... X)
