The Da Vinci Code

Finally after spending three and a half days on the book. 12 hours slower then YiLing. All for the things i've been busy about, haha...actually i was just being occupied by the internet. Cause this trimester i've only 1 subject and nothing to be worried about, some more 1st week of the new trimester. That's why i can finish a 3cm book (defined by Tan Ming Zheng) in such a short time.
Wut I got to know from this book is the detail description of some of the classical paintings 500 years ago by this DaVinci guy. It's classified fiction, but all the facts in there is like open a door to the European World to me. Especially of France and England. It talks about the Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, and the piramids built in Paris. Those who are in computer, ciphertext are also mentioned. There's also riddles in poems for revealing the plots as the story goes on.

Christianity and wut lies within is also a main part of the book. I'm not sure if StarCraft got the name Dark Templar from the original 9 Templar Knights or i'm just giving out a wild guess. And wut i can still recall is the compass rose tat we see in every map. Jesus is a prophet instead of "so holy",with a wife call Magdalene.

And there's The Priory of Sion - a European secret society which protects the importance of female in the society. Some numerous members includes Sir Isaac Newton, Botticelli, Victor Hugo, and Leornardo da Vinci. Then there's also a Vatican prelature - Opus Dei which is deeply devout Catholic. They torture themself just to remember how Jesus suffered at the cross. I find it better that they donate the blood for a good cause rather then letting the blood drain away.

There's so much twist in the story it's like a blockbuster in black n white. For reviews you can visit THE DA VINCI CODE. Wut i found interesting is that there's a challenge that was set on doubleday's page => THE CHALLENGE. I was stuck with the question on 1 degree north. Then i google for answer. It's not that simple as the same question was being asked by others who have finished the book. This Dan Brown...he has another book called Angels and Demons which is also one of the best sellers. I'll think about flipping thru the pages before buying. Spent too much on books this month. Actually spent a lot on other stuffs as well. Kinda broke dy unless my housemates pay me the rentals fast!

Somebody teach me how to read.

I read an average of 0.5 book per year. Wait, that means I'll finish a book in 2 years. Still wrong, maybe 0.25 book per year or even 0.2 book per year.

Somebody teach me how to read. I can't read. I have no patience.
