Quote from: "Xenophanes"
It's a really well written book. I read it and liked it. Of course, from what I've read elsewhere, the author is something of a megalomaniac, and the "sources" he used to write the book aren't very accurate or academic at all.

It has great entertainment value, though, and that's what counts :D


Actually, the background information is very accurate and the two main guys that he got the information from are really mad at him for leaking the info before they finished their works (even though the author gives them credit).

I loved it. Very well written.

Anyway . . . We still love literature. All forms of it, 'cept Catcher in the Rye, which, if I may add, sucked.

Everyone KNOWS Mary Magdalene wasn't a prostitute (seriously). That's all you need in life.

Mary Magdalene was Jesus true love. She was the only one allowed to kiss Jesus mouth

I loved this book, it's fabulous.  But, I suggest reading Rober Langdon's first adventrue in Angels and Deamons.  It's even better.

I'm not too excited about this film version thing.  It's such an intricate book that I don't see how they can leave much out.  I won't be happy if they change it a lot.
