Just passed the halfway point of Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code. I've never read it before and I didn't go see the film so it's all a new experience for me. I was inspired to do it after I saw it on sale for $4.95 at a random bookstall thingo and after recently re-reading Matthew Reilly's The Seven Ancient Wonders / The Six Sacred Stones / The Five Greatest Warriors trilogy (he pays a bit of homage to Brown as the protagonist Jack West goes around doing things like finding the tomb of Christ and raiding Hatchepsut's mortuary temple for Alexander the Great's treasure).

Oh, the book's pretty good, I might as well say. The paperback itself is of pretty poor quality. The words are printed so close to the edges of the page, I pretty much have to break the spine to read the words closest to the inside of the book.

Do read Matthew Reilly btw if you're a fan of the action-thriller genre when it comes to the mindless airport novel. The aforementioned trilogy is great if you love your Dan Brown.
