"A Secret History"

"A Secret History" by Donna Tartt is a novel about Richard, a college student from CA who decides to attend a small liberal arts college on the east coast. He meets a selective group of students who study Greek and he manages to make his way into the group and Greek classes. Throughout the course of the novel, Richard gets to know these few students and finds himself learning their "secret history," whether he wants to or not. The novel is a great read and I was very interested because I myself would have loved to be part of such an exclusive group of scholars (minus all the "secret history" of course).

Next Up: "Eragon" the first of a three part series by Christopher Paolini.
