| 28. The Club Dumas and Perfume: The Story of a Murderer |
|
The Club Dumas is by Spanish author Arturo Perez-Reverte. It's got rare books, it's got monied aristocracy chasing the rarest of the rare, it's got history on Alexader Dumas, it's got an unscrupulous book dealer, it's got Satan. What more do you need?  Perfume is by german author Patrick Suskind. The hero is Grenouille a man born with an extremely sensitive nose, but with no scent of his own. I haven't read it yet. Will do after The Club Dumas. |
| -Could someone suggest a good page-turner? |
