Meme9, I too am a slow reader like you. I took this book on a trip with me recently and the couldn't believe how fast the trip went. I barely noticed my time in the airport and the flight was over before I knew it. If you have a long plane ride, I would recommend taking this book. You will also enjoy your time in Vegas, because the book will give you stuff to ponder and you will need some time away from it to sort things out in your own mind. You know...just kind of leave it there in the back of your mind...and when you come back to it...pieces will fall into place. I found it to be a very engaging book.

Meme9...It also has short chapters. So there are logical places to break if you have to. I hate haveing to stop reading in the middle of a chapter.

That's good, because at least 22 of the 75 people going are going to be on our flight. I'm sure I'll be stopped. Thanks Msb!!!

Hi there Twiggy! I've been reading the spoiler thread on this book. I don't mind being spoiled on this kind of book.

Twiggyish I'm up to the third gate at the DaVinci Code site. But I can't figure it out. Anyone want to give me a clue? Pretty please!

The third gate? Do you mean the square? The square can be read if you stare at it. =) If not there is one you might use your copy and paste somewhere..just saying.

Hiya MsB! What's for brunch? I will try to go back to the site and remember my answers. Did you know there are two different quiz sites?

One puzzle The other puzzle Two weeks ago, after finishing one puzzle and getting stuck in the other, I was googling for info and found a website (someone's blog) that had all the answers to all the segments of the two puzzles, as well as the answer to get the trip to Paris. It said that apparently the first puzzle was too easy, so a second, more difficult one was added. Today, I can't find that guy's site....maybe it was taken off the web.

I got all the way through to the end and it wouldn't let me try for the trip to Paris. Florida residents aren't elgible. =(

OK, guys...this is it! I borrowed TDC from my son-in-law, and am about to start it. I haven't read anything on this thread because I'm scared you will give something away. As AHNOLD S. says, "I'LL BE BACK!"

I just finished this book and LOVED it! Funny thing is, hubby had told me a few years ago about the facts and speculations this book was based on! I just love a smart man! LOL

Well guys I took Marysafan's advice and read this book on the plane on my vacation. I cannot stress how great I thought it was. I ended up buying copies for my parents and both my sisters for Christmas. Everyone who read it, loved it. My sister, like Twink's hubby, already knew about the Gnostic Bibles and all the Mary Magdelene stuff so she was fascinated by it. The important question is have you guys read the PREQUEL, where the symbologist is introduced? It is available in paperback and is called Angels and Demons. This one tells us all about the Vatican and it's archives. As a Roman Catholic, I found it fascinating and a great read. I recommend it to all of you.

Jan...I have both books on my shelf. Would you recommend me reading the prequel first or does it matter?

Kady...you might as well read them in order. They don't overlap much...but the woman from book 1 is mentioned once or so in book 2.(but she has nothing to do with book 2 and never appears in it) I found both equally enjoyable. Book 1 is really about the early church's stand on Science. Book 2 is more about the early church's stand on women. (did you know the early church ...ie prior to the protestant/anglican/catholic split... is responsible apparently for the death of 5 million women!!! mostly through declaring them witches!!!

I FINISHED IT TODAY! AWESOME! As a former Catholic, I found much of the history to be fascinating.

Midlifer, as a former Catholic,(I am as well) I think you will find Book 1 (Angels and Demons) just as fascinating if not more so! ETA: I think Happy Birthday is in order for you?..did I read that somewhere? If yes, then I hope you have a great birthday. (If I am remembering incorrectly, I hope you have a great day anyway )
