have you read it? other books like this? (around the history of grial) did you like t? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I havent read it. I've heard good things about a non-fiction called "Holy Blood, Holy Grail", which is the book the author of the davinci code supposedly plagerized. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I actually think i might take a harder look at it. It comes close enough to being about the illuminati conspiracy to spark my interest. But I think the supposed "facts" or non-fictional elements behind the story of this book look like a hoax. |
||||||||

|
it's horribly trashy and theres no subtlety to it, but its fun, it's like reading a film |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i doubt i'll read it. i was avoiding it because it's so fcuking hyped..i hate that. |
||||||||

This tripe gets repeated every decade for the past thousand years. Have you ever tried to read "The Holy Blood, the Holy Grail"? Oh give it a rest. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No I havent, whats wrong with it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But I understand what you mean about the da vinci code vs holy blood thing. Ive so far, up till now, succesfully stayed out of it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what is the trype? |
||||||||
|
|

tripe |

Tripe is rubbish, basura. I don't buy into this hidden hand, conspiracy crap, It's Dungeons & Dragons for adults. Umberto Eco's "Foucault's Pendulum" made a good case for seeing symbols and whatnot in everything, but then you realise you can find anything in anything if you look hard enough and you'll see what you want to see. Look at Geogaddi. |

yeah I understand you... but I admitt I love reading things like that... I kno its silly... but its my truth |
||||||||

i downloaded the audiobook and it entertained me for a few days. it was ok, but not something i would really get excited about. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
day of the triffids was a much better read |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I thought the book was shitty, although the first part about the "history" was interesting |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not as good as Batman |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's like Harry Potter but for kids instead of adults, right? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i read the green cross code as a child,but now i use subways. |
||||||||
|
|

|

haha :) |

on a plane from london to tokyo, its the perfect no-brainer escapist trash |
||||||||

Leonardo Da Vinci - Flights of the Mind is quite an interesting biography. Funny how he doesnt mention the Grail in the 10,000 remaining pages of his codexs'. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Terrible. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I liked it as a book I could read and not think about afterwards. Made a change. The film will suck major dog cock. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is all thistalk about the grial in this book any real? was da vinci involved in any way with the grial and the sion priorat? are there any proves of this? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
man, you didn't have to read book for that. it was all seen in hudson hawk before. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
about nothing is real about that book, except the fact i didnt read it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i hope you're back for good dude. |

I've heard so much about this book, and at first I thought it was just some "introuction to hermeneutics" or something, but then someone told me it was a fiction book that used lots of the theories about older stuff... like the picture of the last supper, which was the reason I thought it was an introduction to hermeneutics; we had about that picture in our hermeneutics class... we didn't have none of the conspirasy theories, though... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so you intend to read it or not? are there pics of schoolboys in nude inthere as well? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
SPOILER for those who will read the book: I really dont care as it talks about things that are a lie : religion is a pile of lies, there is no good... so I dont care if magdalena was a prostitute or a queen... in either case it just some human being with nothing more behind |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't. I'm not very fond of fiction books. I would quite possibly have had a look through if it was what I originally thought, though... just to see if it provided a different take on it... however, I don't really give a shit whether or not the church wanted to hide that jesus and mary (no, not his mother.. that other one) were together and if she's on the picture and whatever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Did you also study "Transgressing the Boundaries: Toward a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity"? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i see. im not fond of fiction either, and i don't like they hype around it. lately everyone (be it directors, miss universe, or a olympic gold medalist) says their favourite book of lately was this thing. that is well enough to put me off of reading it. same goes for the hype around coelho. it's just stupid. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not really, no, and if that is indeed a real book it seems silly.. is it about bringing hermeneutics into science or something? ..if quantum gravity is even science... we just had about interpretation of lots of different texts and paintings and stuff, and, well.. the stuff about the last supper wasn't as speculative as that book; we looked at how different gestures in the pictures corresponded to different gestures commonly used in that time period in italy to depict different things, and how someone then had figured out who was who around the table or something... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, well.. that never affected me.. if many people like it, it may be good, but from what I've heard about what it actually is about from people who've read it, I don't think I'd like it plus, as I said, I already don't like fiction.. in fact the only fiction books I've read are 1984, Kafkas "the castle" and "america" and a book called "zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance." |

|
I'm just funnin' ya. The course sounds interesting. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha! yeah, I kind of figured, since that title seemed like complete bollocks... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think the theories but forth in the book are interesting but probably a million times lamer than the real shit the church has goten up to snce somebody somewhere went "hey, people actually belive this shit". |
||||||||

was a good read :D |
