Paperback Divinity
At some point when I wasn’t paying close attention, the local bookstores seem to have collectively lowered their prices on foreign paperbacks from Unspeakable to merely Steep, so I’ve been on something of a paperback binge lately. Of the books I’ve been reading recently, one of them stands out: Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code.
It’s a rare book that can simultaneously refute the raison d’être of Christianity as we know it and uphold the teachings of Christ (which, coincidentally, meshes nicely with my personal belief that religion itself is essential, but that organized religion is often hazardous), all the while spinning out a page-turning whodunnit laden with clever riddles and thoroughly enjoyable discussions of symbolism in art.
It is, of course, also worth reading simply to be reminded of one thing that is all too easy to forget: Women are sacred.
So glad you enjoyed this book. Hank also read it, like it very much. Wants to learn more. Love, Mom
