I'm back from vacation. The book about secret societies was very to read.
I've just finished The Chosen, by Ricardo Pinto. The first book in the The Stone Dance of the Chameleon trilogy. A very interesting fantasy, which is not based on medieval Europe and has no magic. It's not for the faint of heart - some very gruesome stuff happens. Anyway, I thought it was interesting but too long (712 pages). If I compare the length of the book to what has actually happened in the story, I can't help but think it could have been shorter. It was good enough, though, that I'm ordering part two, The Standing Dead.
Now starting to read Western Esotericism by Kocku von Stuckrad.
