Back again!
After a 2 week time lapse without new posts, I’m back again online. No, it weren’t vacations (I wish…), but I moved to a new apartment (without internet until a couple of days ago) and work is quickly becoming too dense with no need for distractions.
When at home I’ve become addicted to the Da Vinci Code, in a few days 50 pages from finishing it.
And already a mere 10 days from the Hitchhikers’ guide to the galaxy movie. Can’t wait!

I’ve shun that book for all I’ve heard about it; it was too popular and too controversial.
One day, my wife bought the book as a gift to her father, for he liked the story behind it and had a couple of other books in the same vein. He read it in a couple of days and said the book really was awsome.
We (me and my wife) read the book *out loud* to each other in turns during a single week-end, and it really is a great story very well told. We simply got hooked.
(We read the book to each other as we did stuff at home; I read when she was cooking, she read when I was washing the dishes, etc, so no time would be lost!
What I really find amazing is the number of people questioning the veracity of the book’s “facts”; it’s difficult to draw the line between fiction and reality, and some people take it very far. I saw amazing thigns in Paris that I’m not going to tell because I don’t want to spoil the finish for you, Pedro!
Have you finished it already?
Finished it already. Took about less than I antecipated, a week from cover to cover, but I guess in the last few days the daily page count was increasing in the same ratio as the Fibonacci sequence
It really got me hooked.
Too bad I went to Paris a couple of years ago. If it were now I would have a lot more things to watch closely. Maybe next time. I wouldn’t be surprised that someone will start doing a “Da Vinci Code” touristic bus in the meantime
Well… they actually already have. We’ve seen advertising about those tourist buses that have included the spots of the book on the tour. Although I didn’t have a chance to try it out, it seems very nice indeed, if only because several buses do the same tour, so that you can drop off a bus, visit Saint Sulpice or walk along the Tuilerie Gardens (for example), and catch another bus on the same spot (or another further ahead) to continue the tour.
Anyway, as I was telling you on the other comment, (spoiler warning!) I saw amazing things under the Inverted Pyramid; the book finishes with Robert Langdon realizing that the Graal could be on the “small” pyramid under the big inverted one. Well, I saw dozens of persons, mainly women, touching and kissing the small pyramid in great respect.
It just goes to show how well hte book is written.
