I had forgotten to update the “Currently Enjoying” section when I completed Seven Deadly Wonders by Matthew Reilly. Seven Deadly Wonders is about a seven member team exploring the ancient wonders of the world seeking pieces of the capstone that had once topped the Great Pyramid at Giza and preserve world peace. Needless to say, it was a little far-fetched but as enjoyable as an Indiana Jones film or National Treasure with Nicolas Cage. When I finished the book, I went on to another adventure novel, this time the classic, Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift. I have finished most of the book already and have been really surprised at how funny and insightful some of it can be. I hadn’t known that the book was a satire prior to reading. I hope to write more upon completion of the novel.
