Since this been flying high in the US bestsellers' list for something like 50 weeks now, I'm guessing some of you will have read it -- I'm about 400 pages in to this, and it is pretty intriguing... I've read most of the propositions in it before, but this must have gone pretty mainstream to sit so prominently in the bestseller list for so long -- especially since it doesn't exactly have a very pro-church stance ... anyway, I picked it up cheap at ASDA (acquired by WalMart) and I'm enjoying it, and recommend it.

Actually, I too am planning to purchase more of his work. He has a website, here, which I've yet to really explore.
Anyway, this book involves the fibonacci sequence, Phi, The Priory of Sion, The Holy Grail being Mary Magdalene, wife of "Jesus Christ", Opus Dei, The Vatican, Da Vinci of course ... all in all, some interesting information is being carried to a seemingly wide amount of personages!

It's just a little GIF file I made, using pictures from various horror films, and a picture of a barn taken during the Great Depression of the 1930s ... Michael Myers is there, as is, as you noted, Pinhead ... Danny from the Shining finishes the piece ... can't remember who else :Ø

Oh, there's a zombie from Zombie Flesh Eaters, the one underwater that wrestles a shark, I think ... also, a female victim from Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer :×)

yo if you guys want to read a good book check out house of leaves by mark z danielski. I highly recomend this one that probably isn't saying much since none of you know me but it for any one who is eager to read something that hasn't been done before to my knowledge

I'm somewhat of a scholar in some of the areas the book dabbles in. I'll just say take all of it with a grain of salt.
It is a noce book, though.

Yes, I, too, have researched most of the areas dealt with in the book (apart from Opus Dei) ... but I think this is good because it takes these ideas to the General Public, and judging from the Bestseller List, quite a number of the General Public.

I stumbled across the book on amazon, but havn't read it. I really like Da Vinci's drawings. I did read something by gould perhaps, about how Da Vinci was trying to logically figure out how clam shell fossils have been found in high mountains (other than a great noah flood).
My old college library was awesome- 5 stories. I found a really old dusty Da Vinci book, it might have even been written by him, I forget. But it had a lot of his drawings in it.

"logically figure out how clam shell fossils have been found in high mountains (other than a great noah flood)."
for that kind of flood the polar ice caps would have to melt and reform in 50days approx

Bear in mind that this book is a work of fiction, w M w ... I finished earlier today, and now I've started on a Philip K Dick book, The World Jones Made, one of his I haven't actually read, which is nice.
