Outside Reading - Week 6, Post B

The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown

Yet again, all I can do is comment on the ingenious fabulosity of this book. It is somewhat challenging to continuously blog week after week on a book that I have been finished with for a few weeks already (note the extensive use of very descriptive, page filling, adjectives), but I finished in such a short time because believe me, it was truly that good, and if you haven't read it already, there should be nothing stopping you: go for it (note the McCarthy style of "setting the scene," I am very influenced by the books that I am currently reading). For instance, while I was reading DaVinci, all I could think about was what was going to happen next, and when I wasn't reading, I wanted to be; following the intensive as well as intricate story line was an entire thought process on its own. Another example of my delving into my current books was when we were reading Much Ado About Nothing, I started speaking in Shakespearean language, saying, "why, have not you read that book of great stature," as Benedick would say, or some might argue that Yoda could have also said that. But seriously, that book did a lot of good for me, now I know much more about European history and also the fictional story of the history of my religion, and if anybody ever questions it, I have the knowledge now to argue a convincing debate (and that knowledge also came from our debates in L.A, how fitting). Enough language arts jokes, I'm giving up and signing off.
