The DaVinci Code
Finally got around to reading the The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown. It was a pretty intriguing novel. The history, facts and figures in the book are very interesting and were almost all things I had never heard of. The Priory of Sion, Opus Dei, the concept of Sacred Feminine, some interesting observations on the The Last Supper by Leonardo DaVinci to name a few.
While the history and facts in the book are interesting, and it’s a page-turner , I found it a little lacking in the areas of character development, plot and dialog. Despite these things, I’d recommend The DaVinci Code to anyone who has a little time to devote to reading because of the aforementioned well researched facts and information.
Read on to see what else I’m reading at the moment.
I just started Around the World in Eighty Days. It’s been in the back of my mind for quite awhile as a to-read book. I’ve also recently started Catch 22–another one I probably should have read in college but didn’t. I recently finished The Scarlet Pimpernel–a great read and… what else, I’ve read several short stories, most of which I barely even remember at the moment and as soon as I save this others will probably come to mind, but that’s it for now.
