I bought The Da Vinci Code just for the hell of it and it's boring me to tears so far. I think I'm going to put that down and read the Talisman again lol.

I was going to read those books, but HBO is doing a literal translation of them on the series (which is AMAZING AND ONE OF THE BEST shows on TV). I still might read them since I have heard they are so good.
Oh the books still are WAYYY better I must say! I actually read them before watching pieces of the series. You should read them! Really quick reads too! You can get 1-7 on amazon for 30-ish bucks.

I also tried to read The Da Vinci Code. I might try again later... I haven't had the book in a while, but the beginning was horribly boring the first time. lol
it was the first big book on the topic of the "Templar Knights, true meaning of Jesus, secrets of the Bible, etc" - there have been better ones since then, but it was really the first world wide hit. and there are tons of codes hidden in the book, on the hardcover jackets, etc. it just became a cult thing. no real explanation of it. I actually like Browns OTHER books better to be honest.

yea but it is a worldwide bestseller that had 60.5 million copies in print by May 2006 and that has been translated into 44 languages. 60 MILLION copies. That many copies is unheard of in today's world.
