( I've a strange taste )

It's torture to be at work when you have a really, really thrilling book waiting for you at home.

The book I'm referring to, is Icelandic and by an author called Arnaldur Indriðason (a good deal of his stuff has been translated into other languages, including English, as he write crime novels). His newest book, Konungsbók, (I wonder if the title will be Codex Regius in the English translation) is ... I was going to say Da-Vinci Code-esque but the main characters' relationship and the subject matter reminds me a little bit of Name of the Rose. It doesn't have as good style (nowhere near it) and a lot less Latin and fewer monks but I can't help but be reminded.

So yeah, I want to go home now!
