The Little Chicken Book is hitting the stands this week!!!

I have been telling people lately that I feel like a Roomba. You know those little mini-robot vacuum cleaners that you turn on and let run around your living room? They work by bashing into walls and furniture and then remembering where the obstacles are. At some point they seem to know what they're doing and go quickly around until someone moves a chair or adds an object, and then it's bonks around again until the path is free.

Recently finished reading Michael Baigent's "The Jesus Papers", subtitled "Exposing the greatest cover-up in history." Baigent, one of the authors of "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" on which much of "The DaVinci Code" is based, has written other books, of which this is only the latest. Other titles include "The Messianic Legacy", "The Temple and the Lodge", "The Dead Sea Scrolls Deception". and "The Inquisition.

Compared to HBHG, this book is a bit thin in substance and stretches things out longer than necessary. On the other hand, it does give a bit more of the flavor of the world of antiquities and archeology and the sometimes shadowy dealings that go on behind the scenes.
