Keeping Sane Through Books

Books to the ceiling,
Books to the sky,
My pile of books is a mile high.
How I love them! How I need them!
I'll have a long beard by the time I read them.

The Alexandria Link by Steve Berry I don’t think it’s been said here but I’m a bit of a history buff. More like a history lover (because I think the term history buff makes me sound like Garrett the kid in my high school who learned about nothing but history…and liked to show it off while talking in his really weird voice). Anyway…Berry’s really good at putting together historical links with some action. It’s kind of like what I imagine The Da Vinci Code is like, although I’ve never read it (gasp!). But as you can deduce from the title, The Alexandria Link is about the lost library of Alexandria which I know little about (I’m more of a European history lover) but it was really interesting. There are a lot of biblical issues brought up revolving around if The Bible is as true as we take it to be. It’s really thought provoking. The Alexandria Link kept my attention and I really enjoyed reading it and trying to figure out what different clues and such led to. But, if you want to read something by Steve Berry my recommendation still lies with The Romanov Prophecy which was the first book I read by him…but my Russia obsession makes me a little biased there.
