The Da Vinci Code!
Hi there! Life is progressing at it's usual rate and there is absolutely nothing new with me! I've been reading quite a bit recently! Right now, I'm re-reading The Da Vinci Code for the sixth time! It definitely figures into my list of must read books! Although the movie was a huge disappointment (like all movies based on books), the book is brilliant! Ever since I read it a couple of years ago, I've been anxious to go to Paris to see the Louvre! And when I finally got to go this summer..... I didn't enjoy the museum at all! I mean the Picasso museum in Barcelona and the Musee d'Orsay in Paris was a zillion times better! But anyway, getting back to the book, it is one of the most gripping books I have ever read! It is also the only books of Dan Brown that I actually enjoyed! I mean, Angels and Demons was boring! The movie was way better! The facts given in this book are just so interesting! The theory of Mary Magdalene being in The Last Supper (I hope I get to see the painting in person!) and her being the Holy Grail! Learning about Da Vinci's inventions like the cryptex , (I don't know if it's real, but I like to think it is!) the Fibonacci sequence of numbers, analysis of various paintings! Considering I'm not a very good artist, I have great appreciation for those who are and those who truly understand the in depth meaning of it! Me, I have to read about it to understand it! for those of you haven't read the book, I highly recommend it, especially if you are a fan of thrillers!
