Readings of 2014, May Edition, Part 2

Inferno by Dan Brown:

Another epic adventure through a day in Robert Langdon's life. This time Robert Langdon wakes up with amnesia in an italian hospital, only to shortly flee from the gunshots and troupes of armed men chasing him.

As the name suggests, this journey necessitates Robert and crew deciphering clues related to Dante's The Inferno(which I have unfortunately not yet read), to save the world from yet another (arguably not) mad genius.

Would you flip a switch to kill half of the world?

Obviously not.

But what if the whole world would die in 100 years if you didn't flip the switch?

Read it to see how it ends if that switch gets flipped.

The House of Hades by Rick Riordan:

Yup, I read children's books. Get over it.

And in my defense, it is a really good children's book, full of enlightenment of greek and roman mythology.

In this iteration, Percy and Annabeth try to escape from Tartarus(pretty much certain death), which they fell into during the cliffhanger of the previous book, The Mark of Athena, and seal the Doors of Death to keep the monsters from regenerating.
