Default The Da Vinci Code
Just finished reading it...goddamn very intriguing piece of work...yeah, it's fiction, but references in art and actual locations and organizations makes you question your faith in Christianity...to me, religion is relative so it does not affect me at all....but I can see why this has been a contraversial piece of literature...and you know, contraversial shit always makes for good drama....go cop it!

I give it out of


Lookin forward to the movie version next year...

I agree, excellent book. I did find the ending to be a little disappointing.

Angels & Demons was a good book too. Def read this before DaVinci. You may also find digital fortress to be a good read too. All three of these books were the kind you don't want to put down. That's rare for me to find in a book...

I don't think it matters which edition you buy it just may look a little more fancy...

Script and pre-production reviews weren't strong but they can be changed before the final production is wrapped.

She makes any movie great.
