I finished number 22 late last night, a book called The Eight.  The Eight centered around a fictional chess service given to Charlemagne and subsequently bequeathed to a soldier that defeated Charlemagne in the first match played on the board.  The Montglane Service as it is called is a mystical item that many people seek in “The Game.”

I won’t get into the details, but it had some Da Vinci Code kind of elements to it, though I would not put it in the same playing field.  Not because one is better than the other, but its not a fair comparison, the stories are too different, even though they resolve around, to some extent, solving puzzles to survive.  There was also a lot more mystical / magical happenings in The Eight than there was in ‘the Code.’

Today I started a book loaned to me by a co-worker, called The Haven by Graham Diamond.

22 down, 28 to go.
