DaVinci Code

[Fotura]

Hi,

Just reading this book. Great thriller with some interesting facts about DaVinci. The premise is a Symbologist stumbles upon a code hidden in various DaVinci works.

As he tries to unravel the code, various secret organizations go after him. Opus Dei and Priory of Sion are organizations that have existed since the Renaissance age.

Priory of Sion was a secret organization that included the likes of DaVinci and Issac Newton.

The great thing about the book is if you go to the book's website, DaVinci Code, you can unravel other puzzles in the book. All of the answers are in the book.

Also check out PHI. There's a great part in the story where the main character talks about PHI and it's affect on the universe.

A lot of fun to read.

But are you sure he really is the bad guy?

I read the prequel and I'm about halfway through the DaVinci code. Great books for a summer read.
I also really enjoyed Eight by Katherine Neville. She's an excellent author.

From Amazon:

Katherine Neville's debut novel is a postmodern thriller set in 1972 ... and 1790. In the 20th century, Catherine Velis is a computer expert with a flair for music, painting, and chess who, on her way to Algeria at the behest of the accounting firm where she is employed, is invited to take a mysterious moonlighting assignment: recover the pieces of an old chess set missing for centuries.

In the midst of the French Revolution, a young novice discovers that her abbey is the hiding place of a chess set, once owned by the great Charlemagne, which allows those who play it to tap into incredible powers beyond the imagination. She eventually comes into contact with the major historical figures of the day, from Robespierre to Napoleon, each of whom has an agenda.

The Eight is a non-stop ride that recalls the swashbuckling adventures of Indiana Jones as well as the historical puzzles of Umberto Eco which, since its first publication in 1988, has gone on to acquire a substantial cult following.
