I'm reading now The Mirror of Cassandra by Bernard Werber.
I have a love-hate relationship with his books. All the little "facts" he stops the story to tell are utter and complete bullshit. He starts with the truth and distords it, stretches it or simplifies it to the point where it turns absolutely false.
Lots of his story are brilliant, except when he tries to put too much philosophy in them, then it sucks.
I loved Les fourmis, and Les thanatonautes. I absolutely hated the follow up he gave to Les thanatonautes. Le père de nos père was pretty much bullshit too. He wrote a neat short stories book.
So, how much philosophy is there in this latest one? If it's barely none, it goes on my to read list. :)
As for me, I'm reading Le livre noir du Canada 2, by Norman Lester. It's the sequel to the one I read before, more of the bloody and bigoted history of Canada, concentration on the 20th century. There's a third one that about recent history too. I'll read it when I'm done with this one.
