Hiya Twiggs- I finished this book recently, and enjoyed it cover to cover. I'd love to discuss it, however, I don't want to spoil anything for you! How far along are you?

Same here Twig, I loved this book!! By the way, the author was on Good Morning America this morning and said there are at lest four codes in the book cover. They have a contest going, the first person to figure out all four wins a trip to Paris! His hint was that if you read the inside jacket cover, "While in Paris on buisiness," you will notice something about the word business. I think the letter "i" is bolded somewhat. He said you would need good light and perhaps a magnifying glass to help you out. I also think the script on the cover is backward script so I have to get a mirror to see if I can figure that out. That gives you some idea how much fun it was trying to solve the puzzles along with the main characters.

Dan Brown also told us in the interview at Good Morning America this morning that as a child he would not find presents under the tree Christmas morning. Instead he and his siblings would find treasure maps, and they would have to find their presents hidden in other parts of the house. No wonder he was so good at taking us along on this journey! Have you checked out Thedavincicode.com.? I haven't gotten very far in the quest..but it sure is fun.

Okay, I just figured out the first code...(I think). This is so exciting! I knew I wasn't ready to put this book down!

One of the friends who is reading it said she wants to buy a campanion book of DaVinci prints - does anyone else feel this would be helpful? I am so tempted to buy this, but I think I should put it on my Christmas list!! *sigh

This book was a great read. Not only was the story good but all the historical info was fascinating. The part about the prime number had me dashing to the computer to read more. This is one book that has you thinking for weeks after you read it.

Wow! This is great fun! I got thru the four gates, and what follows, and am at the last step, the auctioned parchment in code, and am trying to decipher it, using my fourth grade skills of eons ago. LOL I have the first two of the five words, I think, and a few letters of the rest. Anyone else trying this?

I am ordering this book tonight. Ya'll have convinced me. Can't wait and if I can't figure it out, I'll give it to my resident genius and let him have a crack at it.

My book arrived today, but I've just started a novel that I'm not pulled into so far and I know if I abandon the novel, I'll shun it in the future, so I plan to finish the novel first..

Hi (((Babyruth))) I've come here a number of times hoping to run into you...LOL...Finally got lucky! But I just can't seem to get used to posting here. As a matter of fact I just wrote you a nice note and lost it! And No I didn't get your e-mail cause I don't use that old addy anymore. Do you still have my other one? We had two computer viruses and lost lots of info. I miss you too!(((Babyruth))) Oh and the mini MrB's aren't so little anymore...LOL! I'll try to stop back in now and then. But for now I have to run. Max was altered today and I need to keep an eye on shim...LOL. Sweety I'm glad we were able to connect again. Ciao

I'm going to start a book discussion thread so we can discuss ideas. It will be a spoiler for those reading, so you may want to wait until you finish. =)

I want to get this book to read on the plane to Vegas(in a couple of weeks). Those of you who are reading it or have read it....what do you think? Is it good? Will I be able to put it down, while I enjoy Vegas? Or will I stay in my hotel room reading? I love to read, but hate to start a book because I want to finish it without to many interruptions. Ohhhhh, to take or not to take. LOL

Meme.. let me tell you.. I am not a big fan of "mystery" in general but anyway.. I started the book but only made it a little bit in, then yesterday read a bit more and more and more and am now over half way thru.. no progress since I started on the Sunday paper, puter and watching tennis but.. it is moving fast and holding interest. Actually would be a good airplane book. Ah, you might stay in the room.. it IS that good.

Thanks Sea!!! I think I'm going to get it. I think Tess once said you were a fast reader. I like to read slower(well at least not to fast)and savor the words.
