The next Da Vinci Code

What is the next Da Vinci code, is it going to be an obscure European book written by an intellectual? A book about Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan?

No, it is going to be a book about World War II and the Nazi's. Les Bienveillantes, by relatively unknown author Jonathan Littell will hit shelves in the U.S. and Canada next year. Littell, a native English speaker, wrote this heavyweight (900 pages) over the course of 3 months having spent 4 years reasearching. The book is published in France and has sold over 100,000 copies thus far. If the media frenzy surrounding this book and the author's obscurity holds up this book be the book to have next year.
