So, it turns out that Eve works in the Borders across from my work.
So, as I walked in to have what was to be an odd and slightly awkward conversation with her amidst her coworkers, I noticed that this month is slated to be the release of a new Dan Brown novel...
:crankey:
I wonder how long it will take to steal a copy off the Internet.
LMNO
-can't help it, it's like a train wreck.
I noticed a new one is being released too. I dread to think what is going to get Dan Browned (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main.DanBrowned) next.
Apparently, this takes place in Washington DC, and involves the Masons.
I also cannot help myself. I will probably read it. :argh!:
This is a good antidote to Dan Brown

After all, entertainment and education need not be polar opposites. In particular, I recommend Frank Schätzing's The Swarm. Kai would probably love the level of attention paid to biological research.
I only got halfway thru DaVanci. Repeating itterations of action and art lesson with a measured amount of exposition between each.
It was like a Battenburg cake made out of American Lit. and Art text books, or touring a museum where you play HALO or Professor Layton between each floor.
Angels and Demons any better?

Replace Priory of Scion with Illuminati, replace albino assassin with middle eastern assassin, replace french chick with other chick.
Prediction for new one?
Replace Illuminati with Freemasons, replace middle eastern assassin with high tech American assassin, replace other chick with American chick. I don't remember if other chick was American, but this one can be Americaner.
The chick will be a Mason.
Yes, I know, but this is Dan Brown. You know he wont be able to resist it.

He might make her black so that she's more distinctly "American" than the other chick.

Ok, that would be pretty damn funny.
