For those who have/haven't read it I recommend Angels and Demons by the same author (Dan Brown), far better book imho.
reading it at the moment, having just finished another one by the same guy called Digital Fortress.
Easy reading, but I do find his writing occasionally treats you like a simpleton, and seems to have to force in explanations of things. He also gets things wrong every now and then :rolleyes: little details, but then I can be a pedant if I want :P

Shouldn't that be "if I want to be" :whistle:

If you like this book try "The Rule of Four"
Similar subject. Much better book.

not necessarily. I can be a choosy with what I am pedantic about,
if I want :narnar:
...but perhaps it should have a "to be" on the end (not a "not to be", that would just be silly)
...anyway, should you
not avoid using apostrophes to abbreviate words when attempting to stick to "proper" grammer? :unsure:
edit: Questions should also end in a question mark, should they not?
"?"
:narnar:
:devil:
Reading Digital Fortress myself atm. Its ok but not as good as the other two.
Isn't "The Da Vinci Code" all that nonsense about the Holy Grail?
Yup thats the one, and as usual all the conspiricy theorists have jumped on it as being based on fact. Guys heres a clue" Its fiction!!!"
