Good choice. I loved that book. It started me on a whole ancient Rome reading kick a few years back.

The same author wrote a stand-alone novel A Twist At The End, which has O. Henry investigating a serial killer in Texas. Usually I find these sorts of stories hokey, but Saylor does it better. And aside from O. Henry, the killer actually existed as well.

I've just started Peter Straub's Shadowland. I'm a fan of Straub, but this one just didn't sound like it was for me, so I put it off for years.

So far, I'm enjoying it. I very much enjoy Straub's style of writing.
