oh dear, here we go again

The Templar Legacy is a book i picked up at random whilst out shopping not so long ago. i would not say i am interested in the infamous Knights Templar as much as i am in the time period that they roamed. these days one can only get novels from this period if it has the word "Templar" in the title, it seems.

only four chapters in thus far, but nonetheless i bestow a mixed review so far. some of the plot would appear to revolve around the world of antiquarian books, which is always a good way to excite my interest. on the downside, it commences with the same Papal "myth of Christ" quote which so burdened the impressively disappointing The Last Templar. if this all ends up going down the same path as that one, it may well turn out to be one of those rare instances where i do not bother finishing reading it. i do have a stack of other novels to read anyway, and today i believe another novel by Christopher Priest should arrive.

otherwise, not a huge amount to speak of. all would seem to be well with young James - i shall endeavour to get pictures of him up on this site soon!!

be excellent to each other!!!!
