I thought the book was great. I wish I had borrowed it instead of buying it, though.

I am currently reading:
Parasites Like Us by Adam Johnson
Equal Rites by Terry Pratchett

Vimy by Pierre Berton

and next my mother is making me read this...

Protecting the Gift: Keeping Children and Teenagers Safe (and Parents Sane) by Gavin de Becker

It is actually a good idea for me to read since I babysit a family friend's 2 year old and I should be able to avoid getting myself into uncomfortable and possibly dangerous situations and this book is suppose to help you identify these situations using your insticts.

What's wrong with The Da Vinci Code? Out of curiousity...it's just a good book. Fiction..but so what? I loved it.

I am reading A Tree Grows In Brooklyn right now.

Its not that it was bad, but I don't know why people go up their ass about it.

I had a customer where I work once tell me that I had the same name as Jesus's daughter according to the Da Vinci Code. He was so serious. Its like people take the gospel of Dan Brown and worship it. I don't get it.

tsk. some people will believe anything.

you do, however, have the same name as the wife of Abraham. :mrgreen:

Well I think it's a good book to make you think about what you believe. But as far as gospel. People...so dumb.

Gah... so much reading to do.

Right now I'm working on the pathetic dent I've made in Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts. Then I have about 5 Anne Rice books to get through.

Working at Chapters is deadly.
