PS. Has anyone read Angels & Demons by Dan Brown? I hear it's about the Illuminati too
While everyone I freaking know keeps going on about DaVinci Code, I picked up Angels and Demons due to it's Illuminati link too (and because i've read that DaVinci is a cookie cutter copy of it's plot line). While it was entertaining to a certain level and I was interested enough to finish the book I can't say I recommend it. Illuminati freaks like us will have nothing fun to read about, and adventure fans will have a pedestrian story to kill some time with. As a book lover it drives me nuts that this drivel is constantly on top of the Top 12 Books chart. This guy has three novels in there. People who don't read (like the rest of my family) find a fad to latch onto and devour it. Drives me nuts I tell you! :) I've read that the staff at places like the Louvre are being driven nuts by people asking about things mentioned in DaVinci Code and it was required reading for the staff to help answer questions (hint: it says FICTION on the book kids). And apparently Dan Brown is being sued because his entire theory is lifted in it's entirety from another book published years ago. In fact the name of one of his characters is an combination of two of that book's authors. (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1234189/posts) Want a thrilling read? Ice Station by Matthew Reilly. Suspend the laws of physics while you read it. But damn, was that a fun and gripping read! -paul Currently in rotation: Proclaimers - Hogmany (live) 12.31.03; Sparks - Live in Stockholm; Brian Wilson - Smile; Fatboy Slim - Palookaville
