All I’ll say about it is that I enjoyed it, but there were a few things that I wish she had covered, as in what happened to certain people. If you want to discuss details, find me on AIM/Jabber or IRC :)

I finished listening to Angels & Demons the other day. It was a lot better than I was expecting. I’m not sure if I like The DaVinci Code or Angels & Demons more. They’re both good in their own way, both kind of Catholic Church bashing. Interesting in it’s own way.

Wow, I may finish this after all…

I finished listening to the Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown, and I’m almost done with Angels & Demons. For popular books, they’re pretty enjoyable, and I can definately see why they caused such an uproar when they were published - they go against the typical “Christian” thought patterns.
