I'm just about to start: THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST - Nikos Kazantzakis

I was informed that this was essential reading before beginning The Davinci Code.

Fine choice, young man - Just finished reading 'Monstrous Regiment' - surprisingly similar in sentiment to 'Catch 22' and 'Heart Of Darkness' - yet one of the funniest Discworld novels yet!

Currently wading through 'Jesus' by A N Wilson - comparing writings on the Christian figure with known historical facts of the day - e.g. Joseph went to Bethlehem to answer the census call of Quirinius, as ordered by King Herod; now there's a miracle - apparently, King Herod died in 4 BC, and Quirinius was not in office until 10AD.

NB - The above is merely an instance from an extremely interesting book by an emminent UK historian, not an attempt to bring religion onto this forum - any such debate, and this post will be deleted.

Good book, though!

BION, Moby Dick, by Herman Melville.

Surprisingly readable and "modern" in its language, compared to the English novels of the same era.  Drags a bit in parts, but most older novels do...

Mr. Heath hasn't shown up yet though -- his entrance should be good for comic relief: "I say there! Unhand that endangered whale!.... Hmmmm, sailor, your concertina concerto may well be the genesis of a music form that will later come to be known as 'prog.'" Wink
"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.
