Aloysius Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Watch through the whole thing, I thought the History Channel did an excellent job. They went through everything giving it all the benefit of the doubt, and then in the end they smashed it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semperviva Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Some one asked some actor what his favorite book was. He's like, "The Da Vinci Code, because I love reading about the history of religion..." [i]............it's in the freakin FICTION [/i]section, yo! :angry: I believe religion aand History can be found in NON-fiction under either the 150s or 900s...[i]Oi chiwa...[/i] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixxxer Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 why is the book of morons in the non fiction section? ooo im so bad ive seen alot of different things on tv about it. seems interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semperviva Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 sorry, lol, the DaVinci code[i] i[/i][i]s[/i] under Fiction I meant. In other words, the guy picked up a book that is fiction and took it as the History of Religion, although if this were true it would be under non-fiction...that's what I meant...

Semperviva Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Yer right its somewhat intriguing, but only in the sense of a really intricate fable or somethin...a very masonic fable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photosynthesis Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 it's supposed to be a really tantalizing read. Everyone I know who's read it says they can't put it down, even though they're appalled at all of the lies. Supposedly a movie is coming out in 2006, starring Tom Hanks... now, who doesn't like Tom Hanks? I hope the movie tanks at the box office and no one sees it.

Semperviva Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 LOL well it well written in one sense... as in, it draws you in but the character development is not good...as far as fiction writing goes I plan on reading it just to see what all the hype's about, to see if its actually well-written, which i highly doubt- although it has been on reserve at my library for 4 years... [i]and theeen[/i]..... i can tear it apart.... mwahaaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 I've read it. As a fiction book, it does draw you in. It's a murder mystery, mostly. The info about the Church is all wrong, as we all know. But that's why it's labeled "fiction." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezic Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 i'll save you the trouble. I read the first page and the last one. NOthing happens in the book. (or my version at least) now if only there were more books like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jezic Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 no actually i usually read the whole book more than once but this time, for no real reason i decided i hated the da vinci code but wanted to say i started reading it. SO i did. Then i finished my reading. It was a good book in my view. I got a 30 second hello and a 45 second goodbye and that makes a pretty good book.
