Foucault's Pendulum, Umberto Eco
Recommended by Oliver

This book depicts a mysterious story founded on the desks, or rather, computer, of a few associates in a small publishing firm. Through their knowledge of fact they concoct an elaborate 'Plan' by combining irrefutable historical events into a believable tapestry. Having done so, one individual discloses this to a group of 'believers' who are convinced these publishers know the secret to control the world. This changes their lives from one of hypothesizing to a devilish reality. It has been a while but I believe this sums it up. A very good read nonetheless.
