pickI think this was my third or fourth reading of this one. I must remember not to give it away again because the time will come when I‘ll want to read it again. With the exception of the relentless sexualization of grieving Vittoria, I find this book so much fun.
You know, I don't think I've ever seen the movies.
I did read “DaVinci Code“ and “Angels and Demons“ but nothing else by Brown.
But, hey, there's a professor in these books and movies!

Starting this. I picked up the 3rd in the series from a used sale a few years back, so thought I should give the series a shot
Did anyone else go through a massive reading slump in February or was it just me? Here‘s a reread to try to claw my way back into the reading world.

I quite enjoyed my first encounter with Robert Langdon. I always find books like this fascinating, intertwining fact and fiction with such a fine line it's almost believable.

Book haul from the thrift store today. Sadly they didn‘t have all 5 in this series, but I will hopefully find them when I go back. $4 for these isn‘t bad 😍

I have this book on my shelf but I have not read it yet.
"Day 1: Favorite Book in a Series"
Angels & Demons by Dan Brown, hands down. I read this for the first time in high school and have loved it ever since.
😂 I don‘t think that was intentional... but it‘s funny
Ch6 of 137. Finding it a bit ... heavy handed.
“‘Definitely not gypsies,‘ he decided in his semiconscious delirium. ‘Aliens perhaps?‘ Yes, he had heard about things like this. Fortunately, the beings would not harm him. All they wanted were his—“ Pg 431
“Glick was sweet...charming in a pasty, Briddish, unstrung sort of way. Like Hugh Grant on lithium.” Pg 229
“Faith is universal. Our #specific methods for understanding it are arbitrary. Some of us pray to Jesus, some of us go to Mecca, some of us study subatomic particles. In the end we are all just searching for truth, that which is greater than ourselves.” #QuotsyApr21
I've been rereading books in my collection to keep or give away. I really am at the point where I've read everything fiction in my house!
Finished Deception Point and Digital Fortress (DF is still the best of Dan Brown, I think) so now it's on to Robert Langdon.
Happy Purim! #hamantashen #purim #holiday
so-soI had high hopes for the story but it fell short of it. Mostly because the many twists were clear see-throughs, many questions were unanswered or rather had really vague explanations and in some cases none at all. The vagueness of breakins and killings is too uncanny for the level of depth percieved. It is surely intriguing and gripping but it is too shallow at points. I don't think i would follow up with series.
Everything leads the way to the ultimate question... Who are we? What is life? How did we come into being? And what's the purpose of our existence?
Me : looking for answers within words, and finding an altogether different amalgamation of a fictional real world

Time taken: 7hrs.
Every Dan Brown book is soooo dense.
Has this happened to anyone else? Just me? Lol I have a habit of having so many books open at once because it depends on my mood lol.
pickIt was a good read. I liked the 1st book better tho. Watched the movie as well(Both angels and demons and the da Vinci code). Movies seem so high paced after reading the very descriptive books of Dan Brown. Intersting book overall.
Reading books which were long overdue feels like the only accomplishment of #2020.
Can you tell I like used books?
Looking at this stack I think the one I‘m most excited for is actually The Forest by Edward Rutherford....

pickI haven‘t read this in a long time, so it was great getting to read it again before getting to the newest book in the series. I remembered more of the movie than the book. The book is much different, with some characters being cut out of the movie entirely. I think I like the book version far better than the movie version. I liked the book the first time around, but I liked it even better this time around, somehow.
🤣😂🤣 The Holy Thrown 🤣😂🤣
I‘m dying. 🤣😂🤣 The Holy Thrown. 🤣😂🤣 If you guys thought I was twisted because of my love in Act V of Titus Andronicus, this is a whole new level. 🤣😂🤣 Either this is ridiculously funny, or quarantine has cracked me. 🤣😂🤣 The Holy Thrown. 🤣😂🤣

I read this 11 years ago. In 2009 I kept this in my bag to give me something to do to stay out of the way when my mother was arguing with my grandmother to shower at the nursing home. I remember it, but don‘t. I just watched the movie so I‘m having a go with it again, to refresh my memory on all the places Robert Langdon has been before starting Origin for the first time.
pickWatched the movie before reading the book. Enjoyed both. And it put Rome on my need-to-visit list. 🛵💙
