Puttering in the Study

Shelfari.com

Something I just joined recently and have enjoyed is Shelfari.com, which is an online book club of sorts,which allows you to list the books you're reading or have read and comment on them.  It lets you creat a virtual bookshelf to show which copy of a book you have, and look up what other readers think.  I have set up a profile and put a lot of the books I've read recently.
To avoid duplication, I've started posting my reviews on Shelfari and then copying them into blog posts.  I have to get the graphic of the book for the blog post separately - oddly you can't copy the image file they have online, but that's not a big deal.

The Last Templar - Raymond Khoury

I picked this up on the sale rack, and read it over the last week while traveling for work.  I was actually really impressed by the book - well written, and for some reason the characters really worked for me.  They were well-drawn and seemed completely believable.  It was very interesting watching an essentially parallel spin on what Steve Berry did in The Templar Legacy.  I probably liked that book better, but think this is a better book, if that makes any sense. 
I won't give away the plot, but I thought it was a really good one - including the twists.
