Thanks, Shav. I will... It'll need a holiday though, I think.

I may start it again - there's nothing harder than trying to pick up a book that you half read and attempting to resume from exactly the same place...

Da Vinci Code was a good book but I think his first one "Angels and Demons" was much better.

I am currently reading "Kant and the Platypus" by Eco, it's a collection of essays on philosophy and language. It's incredibly complex but also very enticing.

I just read the review for "Pendulum" on Amazon. That's next on my book list after I finish off "Cell" by Stephen King.

it has real actions and consequences that result.

But doesnt anyone find it strange and disturbuing that some people are taking Dan Bronws words to be fact? The catholic Church are so worried that they are trying to sue Brown.

i have the book at home, but haven't bothered to read it.

i don't find what you have just said strange at all.

When brown wrote his book he knew it would be turned into a film thats why includes the actions scenes........but most of what he is suggesting is a fabrication.....he has manipulated the work and reasearch of other people....and what makes it worse is that he has made so much money out of it........

yes, and then if you go around spreading what you believe, others will believe i am idiot too.

Only in this case you are spreading your own message perfectly well 😵

Isn't that what all CEO's do?
