Currently Reading: Hannibal



I just came back from a nice long walk (I didn't feel like running), it's so beautiful and sunny outside, although still a little chilly. Anyway, I started reading Hannibal this morning and realized I had not posted it.

Already this book is good, I really hope it stays that way.


Book: Hannibal (Hannibal Lecter book #3) by Thomas Harris

Description:

Seven years have passed since Dr. Hannibal Lecter escaped from custody, seven years since FBI Special Agent Clarice Starling interviewed  him in a maximum security hospital for the criminally insane. the doctor is still at large, pursuing his own ineffable interests, savoring the scents, the essences of an unguarded world. But Starling has never forgotten her encounters with Dr. Lecter, and the metallic rasp of his seldom-used voice still sounds in her dreams.

Mason Verger remembers Dr. Lecter, too and is obsessed with revenge. He was Dr. Lecter's sixth victim, and he has survived to rule his own butcher's empire. From his respirator, Verger monitors every twitch in his worldwide web. Soon he sees that to draw the doctor, he must have the most exquisite and innocent-appearing bait; he must have what Dr. Lecter likes best.

Powerful, hypnotic, utterly original, Hannibal is a dazzling feast for the imagination. Prepare to travel to hell and beyond as a master storyteller permanently alters the world you thought you knew.
