Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophy.

Finally picked up The Da Vinci Code the other day. It's not as... in-depth as I expected it to be.
And by "in depth" you mean Good/Interesting, right?

Nah, it's good, but I just thought it would explain things in much deeper detail. It moves too fast to really... I don't know what exactly I'm trying to say. xD It is interesting, if it wasn't I'd have gladly put it down by now, rofl.

Oh, well I'm glad you enjoy it anyhow. A lot of people agree with you. I personally think Dan Brown belongs in the Special Olympics of Literature, but you know, just my opinion.

Oh, he's very good. SO much better than a lot of today's authors. I can't stomach half the crap people are reading... But no, he's very good. Most books I barely make it past the first chapter because the writing style is dreadful, I'm nearly done with The Da Vinci Code after just three days.
(Which is a miracle, it took me three weeks to finish Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.)

Just finished the Da Vinci Code, and I have to say, that Dan Brown is awful clever. xD

Right now Book 3 of The shadow series (Ender's Shadow, Shadow of the Hegemon, Shadow Puppets, ect) by Orson Scott Card
It's very very good! After this I am going to re-read Steven King's Duma Key. It was my first book ever and I absolutely love it!

I'm finishing up a comic book called "Clumsy" by Jeffery Brown. His stuff is awesome, you should check into if you get the chance. After that I'm going to start reading a graphic novel "Groom Lake", can't wait ^^

I know this much is true by Wally Lamb.
It's a great book so far. It's about identical twins. One of them develops schizophrenia and the other is trying to pick up the pieces. Compelling read if you have family members with mental illnesses.

Great book... anything by Lamb is good (Which is too bad that he has only done three books so far...)
