Da Vinci Code
Just recently, I finished reading Dan Brown's popular book The Da Vinci Book since the movie is coming up soon and there's bound to be more discussion on it. It's both sad and funny how historically inaccurate this book is. Here's an article by Tom Wright on the book.

If there is some discussion that will be good. For every truth there is always a million counterfeits.
I actually enjoyed the novel. The puzzles were fun to solve and I normally could figure it out before the characters. So I guess that I'm also looking forward to the movie.
The sad thing is that so many people including Dan Brown buy into the novel's view of the Gnostic gospels, which is historically speaking a joke. Even art critics say that the book is pretty off there.
I haven't taken the time to read it yet, but I will probably get around to it.
I have heard that it is entertaining reading, but I doubt my theology will be enhanced by it.
