Want a break from the stress of study?
Visit our fiction collection at the library and enjoy a good read by the windows in our relaxing atmosphere.
We keep the works of some popular authors such as Jodi Piccoult, Dan Brown, Stephanie Meyer, Bryce Courtney, Marian Keyes, Andy McNab, Janet Evanovich, John Grisham and Matthew Riley, just to name a few.
Here is a blurb about Dan Brown’s book, “Angels and demons”, which we have in our collection.
“When a world renowned scientist is found brutally murdered, a Harvard professor, Robery Langdon, is summoned to identify the mysterious symbol seared onto the dead man’s chest. His conclusion: it is the work of the illuminati, a secret brotherhood presumed extinct for nearly four hundred years – now reborn to continue their bitter vendetta against their sworn enemy, the Catholic church.
In Rome, the college of cardinals assembles to elect a new pope. Yet somewhere within the walls of the Vatican, an unstoppable bomb of terrifying power relentlessly counts down to oblivion. While the minutes tick away, Langdon joins forces with Vittoria Vetra, a beautiful and mysterious Italian scientist, to decipher the labyrinthine trail of ancient symbols that snakes across Rome to the long-forgotten Illuminati lair – a secret refuge wherein lies the only hope for the Vatican.
But, with each revelation comes another twist, another turn in the plot, which leaves Langdon and Vetra reeling and at the mercy of a seemingly invincible enemy. “
So take the time out during your break to read a good book.
