i can't put it down.

the da vinci code by dan brown. it's just everything about the book - the short chapters mimicking scene changes in a movie, the correlation of the plot to famous da vinci paintings, the historical and religious references to jesus as a mortal. i'm simply blown away. the minute i started reading the book i immediately thought of jesse and the discussions we used to have at lunch about religion, art, and whatever. he was absolutely right - well, at least in terms of the subject of this book. i can't wait til he reads it. what a smart guy. so many things i want to talk about with him.

speaking of smart guys, i called alex yesterday to see if he had read it already since he is the biggest book nerd i know. although he already read angels & demons, he refuses to read the da vinci code b/c it simply bored him. i'm not surprised at all. the writings of dan brown just don't compare to the case studies he's reading in law school. jibberish. nevertheless, he's gonna read it so that i have someone to compare notes with- after finals, that is.

quote of the day: "anyone who can't deal with more than 10 people in their lives should just fucking die." - alex. sounds harsh but the context in which it was spoken was hilarious!
