The Da Vinci Code

[DoubleOughtCel]

This is not meant to get out of hand. Let's keep it that way.

Ok, so I've been reading the book for the past few days and I decided this place needed to heat up a little bit.


Who has read, is reading, or plans to read the book?

This book caused such a firestorm with Catholicism when it came out and it made me wonder whether it was to save face or to actually cover something up. Obviously, it's meant to be a work of fiction, but due to the accuracy of the real life aspects, it makes you forget that you are reading a book and wonder if the things mentioned could actually be partially true. Some of the theories on the artwork is just amazing.

Lets get some other opinions. Keep it civil.

i liked the book a lot, but even better was the prequel, Angels and Demons...that my friends is a good read, especially if you love the whole science vs. religion theme...can't wait to see it friday Dan Brown writes some good books, I'm reading Digital Fortress right now, can't take my eyes outta the book!

I've read the book, loved it.

I thought it was very well written and thought provoking.

I thought Angels and Demons was the prequel but I wasn't quite sure, thanks for clearing it up.

Read that one. Only took me like 2 days. Couldn't put it down.

The only bad thing is, being an IT guy, there were several places where I had to call BS.

If you guys wanna read something that is a bit more on the humorous side of religion, read Good Omens.

Never heard of it...












J/K. I am sick of the hype around it. Discovery has a week dedicated to DiVinci and related stuff.

haha. i am pretty much agnostic and this statement cracks me up. Along with many people, I feel the bible is JUST a book....and this shows the irony in that.

[BlackBulletTSi]

I wanna see the movie. I don't ever read books I don't now why just never can. Though I hear this books good enough that I just MIGHT have to try reading it. Who knows.

Too late. The bible did that hundreds of years ago.

X2, even in high school i couldn't even read my summer reading books. But this movie definitly raises the curiousity level.

[DoubleOughtCel]

Guys I'm telling you. If you plan on seeing the movie, read the book first. I never have the chance to read anymore and I've actually been setting aside time the last few days to read this book. But judging by the looks of the trailers I think this movie is going to be pretty damn acurate with the book.

[Scapegoat]

the book was great. I try to stay away from mainstream crap, but I read through this book in 2 days

[S4toSTI]

I am not saying this about anyone here, but i find it funny how this book has been out for a few years now and the hip thing of the moment is to read it. I am not saying that it is bad people are reading the book, however it is like "Yo have you read the da vinci code oh you haven't where have you been."

[JasterM5]

I've read all of his books, Its def a good read. And yeah while it is a work of fiction its weird to see how accurate everything is. Def read the book before seiing the movie.

[TROLL]

i've had the book on my shelf for like a year or so... i like to buy all these books that i hear such great things about but then i never take the time to read them. i would really like to read the book before i see the movie though...

It's because the movie is building up the hype again. I recently got into it because I heard some good things about it from a friend and decided to check it out. I don't consider a book a bandwagon.

The thing that I really like about the book is that although its intended to be fictional, the story is built upon a history that is widely accepted around the world, and could very well be true.

Ehh i think the book is a bandwagon. Some people in this world buy books so they can look smart. I am not saying you are jumping on the band wagon i think it is good for people to read this book. I don't know just a personal problem i have with people who are sheep thats all.
