Da Vinci Code
Ok, I thought the movie will be a substitute for the book. I was wrong, the movie made me read the book. I checked it out of the library and finished over the long weekend. Hey, any award for being the last person to read the book? :)
Though I watched the movie, the book kept me occupied. I would say the movie stayed true to the book and didnt deviate much, except for the way how it ended. It pretty much covered everything the book has to say. While reading I was googling constantly about various terms in the book, that took me to very interesting links. I was also using Google Earth to get a birds eye view of the locations mentioned in the book. You can very well say that I am the latest one to be bit by the Holy Grail bug. I just want to read more :)
While reading about the various brotherhoods like the Priory of Sions, I came across the Free Masons Society. I even managed to find the local chapter of this society which is 3 miles from where I stay. They have a dinner get together next month and it is open to everyone. I may drop by and see what exactly is going on :)
Couple of thing struck me hard in that invitation
1) It is on June the 13th ,
13th2) There is a Mona Lisa picture in the page where they have the invitation.
Go Figure ...
