Foucault's Pendulum
2 journalers for this copy...
The "thinking person's Da Vinci Code", as several book reviewers have called this. A book publisher finances his "serious" publishing by running a vanity press for all manner of conspiracy theorists. For amusement he and his friends decide to concoct their own conspiracy theory, but things start to go wrong when some people actually buy their hoax.
Overall, not a bad book at all. It takes quite a bit of time before anything actually starts to happen, and that part is mostly filled with the pretentious protagonists making fun of everyone who isn't them. Still, when the actual construction of the conspiracy starts, the pace picks up, and the book becomes pleasurable to read.

I found this in the undergraduate library of the university of Helsinki. The book will likely stay with me for a while, right now I don't have too much time to read books. But I had been planning to read Foucault's pendulum anyway one day, so bookcrossing is a good excuse to do it.
