I read the new Dan Brown all day yesterday, And then, with only a handful of pages left I fell asleep (midnight-ish). I kept trying to wake up and finish it, but it just could no longer hold my attention. And this was before I even found out what the secret to the universe was.

Of course, I already know it is 42, I'm just curious to see if Robert Langdon figures that out on his own.

Have you read Angels and Demons? That's my favorite of the Langdon series. I've read Da Vinci Code too, but meh.

Discovery Channel has some really awesome documentaries of these three books. They break down everything. They're really good. The Lost Symbol one was interesting because I haven't read the book but wow, I knew nothing about Masonry. Apparently, Dan Brown doesn't either *lol*. Oh well, the books are entertainment right?

I have read all three of the Robert l. books. The Da Vinci Code is probably my favorite just because it was my first exposure to his writing. His books are entertaining to read, but I certainly don't count them among my favorites. Its like watching a thrilling movie. I don't buy them to add to my collection, but I enjoy watching them at the theater. I'll have to try and catch that documentary on the Discovery Channel. I'd really like learning more about it.

I wish I could remember the titles. They are three separate docs for each book. The one on the Lost Symbol was really great. I had no idea about the history of the Masons, it was fascinating.

Yeah, some books are pure entertainment and others are classics to hang on to. Angels and Demons was my first Dan Brown book and it was great entertainments. OOOH! You should read, oh dang, there is another book by him that was really, really good. Deception Point I think? Anyway, I think it's my favorite of all Dan Brown's books. It's totally different than the Robert series.
