 FR> I'm part way through Caleb Carr's THE ALIENIST.  It's an intriguing
 FR> work, one that reminds me of two other favorites of mine--Eco's THE
 FR> NAME OF THE ROSE and Finney's TIME AND AGAIN.  This is strange because
 FR> neither of those two ever brought the other to mind.
 ST> I thought "The Alienist" was one of the best books I have read so far
 ST> this year. I once picked up "The Name of the Rose" but never did read
 ST> it.
         
I found it highly entertaining.  There were probably some anachronism
involved--but I definitely put it on my "must read" portion of
recommendations.
I also have THE NAME OF THE ROSE on the "must read" list too.  I've read it
twice so far and will probably reread it several more times at least.
Carr's THE ALIENIST definitely belongs on the list, probably in third place,
right behind Eco's NAME OF THE ROSE and AS Byatt's POSSESSION.
