Here's our latest reading obsession: The Red Pyramid, Book One of Rick Riordan's new series The Kane Chronicles. G finished it in a day, but I am taking a little longer and Dan hasn't started yet. We've all read Riordan's Percy Jackson series and were looking forward to this one. I've found the difference between Percy Jackson and The Kane Chronicles kind of like reading The DaVinci Code and then Angels and Demons: I breezed through the first, because I "got" all the references, but am having a harder time with the second because I have to keep looking things up to understand the plot. While I am familiar with Greek mythology, I have no clue about Egyptian myth and history -- so I am learning something.
