Just read....

Finished 'Gentlemen of the road' by Michael Chabon. Can't say I was overly impressed. Its kind of a simple adventure story set in around 990. It says a lot that the author admitted in some comments at the end of the book that he originally wanted to call it 'Jews with swords'. That pretty much sums it up.
Fortunately I wasn't greatly disappointed, as I didn't really buy this because I thought it would be a good read. (see next post.)
