The Da Vinci Code

[Oxphocker]

I just read this book... and while being a history major, I never thought of christian symbology in that way before...  Very thought provoking.

Give me a more complete review. I keep hearing this title but no one tells me very much about it.

[Oxphocker]

Well... I really don't want to spoil any of the plot because it would not be as much fun to read.  There is a good reason you keep hearing this title, because the thriller/mystery aspect to this book is really good.  I don't know how much of this novel is fact and fiction, but even if some of it is...then I learned some really cool stuff that I never even thought of before.  Plus the book is not that long, I finished it in like two days.

On the other hand, I don't feel compelled at all to read it if I don't at least know the premise and the reasons why people think it's so good. There are reasons why Britney Spears was so popular too, but they weren't reasons that would appeal to me. So I need to know those reasons, so I can decide if it's aught I'll read.

[Oxphocker]

This will probably spoil most of the book....

The book is about a secret society that protects the holy grail.  But the grail is not what people think it is...  Various people are trying to find it and it becomes a race once the four people that know the actual location are killed on the same night.

THERES GOING TO A GAME OF IT COMING OUT

[Spriggan]

Oi,



In which it'll tell you:

NOT to post in all caps
NOT to resurrect old threads
NOT to post irrelevent spam posts in threads.  If you want to start a thread about the Da Vinci Code game do it in the Video Game board (as long as there's not on on the first page or two of the board) and posting something more then "OMG ROLLOFCOPTER THERES A GAME!".
and thanks to you will be having a new section about smilies.

Will you, in the words of Spriggan, "Read the Damn FAQ!".
If you have already, your blatant disregard for it should earn you a ban, in my opinion. You've only just joined, and you've already managed to annoy just about every regular.
If you can't speak English properly, or just find it too difficult to hit that "Caps Lock" button one more time, we do feel sorry for you.
(But not enough to allow you to carry on like this).
Follow the rules, or else bye-bye.

(By the way Sprig, I wrote this at the same time as you.)

[Spriggan]

Hehe, no problem Bot.

I like that we finally have newbies who are justified in smacking around other newbies.

Its Evolution!  Or maybe Intelligent Design since it was Entropy and I that forged the path to this result.

It's part of a grand master plan, as dictated by the Church of Discord.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

I thought the plan of hte church of discord was that there is no plan?

Dan Brown's book "Angels and Demons" was much better than his "DaVinci Code"

I certainly agree -- particularly character-wise.  Langdon actually had some kind of personality and character arc in A&D.

(And really, even though I read Da Vinci first, Da Vinci is just a big rip off of A&D.  The plot is incredibly similar.)
