Literary Evening
I stayed up late to finish reading The Da Vinci Code. (Late night for me is 11:15.) I liked it but the book got off to a better start than I felt it had at the end. There were several important connections to be made in the story line that I made, I think, before the author intended. That took some of the fun out of reading it. I would definitely recommend The Da Vinci Code but not enough to place it on my Currently Recommending list over on the sidebar. It would have made a great beach book.
I can't decide if The Da Vinci Code will be a successful movie or not. Given the popularity of the book, that it becomes a movie seems inevitable. But with everybody reading it there won't be too many surprised people if the book is put on film. I kind of hope The Da Vinci Code does become a movie; I'd sure like to see a red-eyed, albino monk portrayed in a movie.
K-
I'm reading Brown's Angels & Demons now, and have The DaVinci Code ready for my next book. I like the first so far, but I think it also would be a good beach book.
Thanks so much for your comments on my last blog entry. I don't think anyone who hasn't had a child with some sort of disorder can comprehend all the emotions involved. I know that I couldn't have before Howard's. Now I know that anything can happen to anyone and there's not a damned thing you can do about it. Thanks again--it meant a lot to me for people to understand.
