I decided on my next project: The Egyptologist! I have begun to read it on three or four separate occasions, so here's hoping this one sticks. If not I have plenty of other options...but they were all feeling a bit dense last night (literally, The Time Traveller's Wife weighs a freaking ton for a 500ish page book) so I'm taking it easy for a bit. I was thinking of reading A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by David Eggers, but it's very dense so I am postponing until my brain feels more alert.I remember buying this one after reading Prague while I was still living in NYC and working at the Lincoln Center Barnes and Noble (and the 69th and Broadway Anne Taylor up the block, and as a personal assistant...ahh those were the days!). As usual I spotted it offhand and was unable to pass it up - a novel about an archaeologist by an author I had previously enjoyed? Sign me up! The beginning is catchy and fun, and I knew I'd enjoy it but never really managed to dig in deep enough to get rolling on the plot - I always put the book down a few pages in and never came back to it quite fast enough to resume with any sort of clarity.
