I
finished reading Perfume:
The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Süskind a few weeks ago. It was pretty good. It was about an 18th Century French orphan
with extraordinary olfactory powers and, oddly enough, no discernible body
scent himself. He comes to work for a
perfumer in Paris and learns how to make great perfumes, since people back then
reeked. After that ends, he lives alone
in the wilderness for a few years, then goes to a small town in the French
countryside, where he slaughters young girls and uses their essences to create
the most enchanting scent ever. It was
an interesting book, and a pretty easy read.
I
have since started Dream
Team: How Michael, Magic, Larry, Charles, and the Greatest Team of All Time
Conquered the World and Changed the Game of Basketball Forever by Jack McCallum. As the title implies, it's about the Dream
Team.
