I love when people add links because sometimes it's hard to find the books from their post. I've run into misspelled names, missing names, multiple titles, incomplete titles, etc when I search for a book I think is interesting.
I link to Goodreads instead of Amazon simply because that's what I use to keep track of my "to read" books. I can simply click one button and add it to a list, and any one else who uses Goodreads can as well. I prefer their user's reviews too, since Amazon's reviews are not known to be completely unbiased or even real in some cases.
As for
Inferno, I can't seem to get through it. I loved A&D and TDC (not so much TLS), but
Inferno seems to be same story, different people. It actually reminded me of another book I read years ago called
The Cobra Event, which is about bio-terrorism and the race to stop it from devastating the population. Anyway, the latest Dan Brown novel is sitting half read on my bookshelf, waiting to be finished at a time when I'm in between library books. I was going to pick it back up today, but the
The Son became available, so yeah....
