For this Waiting on Wednesday I've picked Dan Brown's Inferno, which is released on May 14. I'm not a huge Brown devotee - I enjoyed The Da Vinci Code, but have never seen the film and much preferred Digital Fortress. However, I find Brown's books are enjoyable because they're easy to read, and take you away into another world for a few hours. Inferno was purchased by a friend for mine for my birthday back in January, so I have been waiting months to claim this present! It'll be a teensy bit like being the Queen, with two birthdays since getting a present again definitely counts as a second birthday. Okay, maybe it won't be like being the Queen. I'm looking forward to it anyway.
From Amazon:
Dan Brown's new novel, Inferno, features
renowned Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon and is set in the heart of
Europe, where Langdon is drawn into a harrowing world centred around one
of history's most enduring and mysterious literary masterpieces.
As Dan Brown comments: "Although I studied Dante's Inferno as a student, it wasn't until recently, while researching in Florence, that I came to appreciate the enduring influence of Dante's work on the modern world. With this new novel, I am excited to take readers on a journey deep into this mysterious realm.a landscape of codes, symbols, and more than a few secret passageways."

Sounds very intriguing.

I'm trying not to read too much of the hype around it, so I'm going in with no expectations.
