Have you read the book Da Vinci Code?

But some are saying it is boring , time wasting. Of course opinions may vary .

oh yes, a totally awesome book! I couldnt put it down, and then I just had to go and find his other books and read them too. You have to remember they are only fiction, but I think the Da Vinci Code has a lot of truth in it, but nobody wants to acknowledge it because it threatens their religious beliefs.

Maybe I shouldnt have used the word "threatening". Perhaps I should have said "challenging", because that is what I believe it does. It makes you think that perhaps there are other ways of looking at our religious history, that maybe its not good to just accept what other people say and write, and forming our own opinions is a valuable way to learn. Does anyone else agree with me here?

How is the movie ?

Yes ? Which points don't you agree with?

Ah, there lies the crux. Religion is based on faith and belief. So at least there is an alternate theory of what "supposedly" happened.

Thannks for response. But how can you say it is uninteresting without reading it . Has none of your friends made any remarks on it ? Have you watche dthe movie either ? I have not yet watched it . But i am planning.

I am taking your advice to read it . But it will take some time before I read it.Thanks.

Do you see in the book any question being raised about genuineness or validity of certain religious believes ?

Good luck carmat.

SOme other member s also have a good opinion about both these books.

May we expect a review of the movie in this forum .You know , writing a review is a commendable skill days pays.

What question does this book raise in the reader's mind and how does it directs him to a conclusion ?

Very good . Thanks for response.

Finish it early. Break up readings may affect the pleasure of reading . You know that is the reason I cannot take up reading big volumes.

Oh !you have done both?Have you noticed any deviations between the two ?

Thanks for the respoons.

Are you planning anyway?

Marriage involves material pleasure and that can be interpreted against the Godlyness of Jesus . That may be the cause of the conspiracy.Thanks for your responses.

The story line is the same. But for technical differences there may come some deviations here and there.

In fact it is a absorbing book . You may try it once.

Very good response from you sir/madam.But which aspect of the book most influenced you ?
