THE DA VINCI CODE\nDAN BROWN\n\nCenturies ago, Christianity's darkest secrets were hidden--for their safety and ours--in a maze of riddles and paintings and secret societies and murders. Or at least that's what happened in Brown's best-selling novel. Either way the secrets are out now, and if they weren't worth $24.95 to you in hardcover, you can get them and the absorbing tale of Harvard "symbologist" (sorry, but there's no such thing) Robert Langdon and minxy sleuthette Sophie Neveu for cheap.\n\nSATURDAY\nIAN MCEWAN\n\nThe possibility that our personal well-being might rest upon very thin ice is a favorite topic of McEwan's. Rarely has he explored it with such serene wit or nasty intensity as in this magnificently unsettling novel, the follow up to his 2002 masterpiece Atonement. His central character, Henry Perowne, is a happy man, a successful London neurosurgeon with a loving family and a very comfortable town house. He also shares the generalized anxieties of people everywhere after 9/11. Then one Saturday he crosses paths with an excitable stranger, a man who will turn up soon again in Perowne's life and give a specific face to all his fears.\n\nNEVER LET ME GO\nKAZU ISHIGURO\n\nSomething is wrong at Hailsham, the very exclusive English boarding school that Kathy H. attends. The students there seem to have no parents, their teachers are wary of them, and they cannot leave the grounds. (You can catch echoes of a dark, inverted Harry Potter.) Part science fiction--horror, part existential waltz, Never Let Me Go is a gripping story about ordinary people trying to wring some joy out of life before it's too late--and for Kathy and her friends, it has always been too late.\n\nAMERICAN PROMETHEUS\nKAI BIRD AND MARTIN J. SHERWIN\n\nBrilliant, brooding, fatally naive--J. Robert Oppenheimer was one of the tragic figures of mid-20th century America. It was he who led the team at Los Alamos, N.M., that developed the first atom bomb. But after World War II he became an outspoken opponent of developing the even more powerful hydrogen bomb. That stance brought him the powerful enemies who would conspire to have him stripped of his security clearance and publicly humiliated. This biography is masterful, lucid and balanced, always mindful of Oppenheimer's role in his downfall--even at Los Alamos he was frequently surrounded by former communists--without ever losing sight of the injustices done to him.\n\nTHE ORIENTALIST\nTOM REISS\n\nMadonna didn't invent self-reinvention. Born in 1905, Lev Nussimbaum fled the political violence of his native Azerbaijan for the swanky salons of proto-fascist Europe. There he became a swinging socialite and best-selling author using a totally made-up identity, that of a romantic Muslim prince named Essad Bey, a creature of curvy daggers and Moorish sighs. Commingling East and West, art and politics, and featuring countless cameos by the great and powerful, Nussimbaum's unlikely life (lives?) reads like a secret history of the 20th century.\n\nGARLIC AND SAPPHIRES\nRUTH REICHL\n\nWhen Reichl became the New York Times' food critic in 1993, she swiftly set about dismantling the work of her predecessors. To pages previously devoted to fussy French cuisine she introduced Japanese soba and Korean bulgoki, and she handed out stars to places earlier critics wouldn't have gone to wearing surgical gloves. She wore disguises so she could experience the service that ordinary people (i.e. non-food critics) get. Reichl writes dazzlingly about food, of course, but she also explores how liberating it can be to dress up as somebody else. She liberates her readers as well.

it is a GREAT movie/book i read the book and it is so addicting!! read this interview:\n\nHOW MUCH OF THIS NOVEL IS TRUE?\nThe Da Vinci Code is a novel and therefore a work of fiction. While the book's characters and their actions are obviously not real, the artwork, architecture, documents, and secret rituals depicted in this novel all exist (for example, Leonardo Da Vinci's paintings, the Gnostic Gospels, Hieros Gamos, etc.). These real elements are interpreted and debated by fictional characters. While it is my belief that some of the theories discussed by these characters may have merit, each individual reader must explore these characters' viewpoints and come to his or her own interpretations. My hope in writing this novel was that the story would serve as a catalyst and a springboard for people to discuss the important topics of faith, religion, and history. \n\nBUT DOESN'T THE NOVEL'S "FACT" PAGE CLAIM THAT EVERY SINGLE WORD IN THIS NOVEL IS HISTORICAL FACT?\nIf you read the "FACT" page, you will see it clearly states that the documents, rituals, organization, artwork, and architecture in the novel all exist. The "FACT" page makes no statement whatsoever about any of the ancient theories discussed by fictional characters. Interpreting those ideas is left to the reader. \n\nIS THIS BOOK ANTI-CHRISTIAN?\nNo. This book is not anti-anything. It's a novel. I wrote this story in an effort to explore certain aspects of Christian history that interest me. The vast majority of devout Christians understand this fact and consider The Da Vinci Code an entertaining story that promotes spiritual discussion and debate. Even so, a small but vocal group of individuals has proclaimed the story dangerous, heretical, and anti-Christian. While I regret having offended those individuals, I should mention that priests, nuns, and clergy contact me all the time to thank me for writing the novel. Many church officials are celebrating The Da Vinci Code because it has sparked renewed interest in important topics of faith and Christian history. It is important to remember that a reader does not have to agree with every word in the novel to use the book as a positive catalyst for introspection and exploration of our faith. \n\nWHAT DO YOU THINK OF CLERICAL SCHOLARS ATTEMPTING TO "DISPROVE" THE DA VINCI CODE? \nThe dialogue is wonderful. These authors and I obviously disagree, but the debate that is being generated is a positive powerful force. The more vigorously we debate these topics, the better our understanding of our own spirituality. Controversy and dialogue are healthy for religion as a whole. Religion has only one true enemy--apathy--and passionate debate is a superb antidote. \n\nPARTS OF THE DA VINCI CODE DESCRIBE THE ACTIVITIES OF THE RELIGIOUS GROUP OPUS DEI. HOW DOES OPUS DEI FEEL ABOUT YOUR NOVEL? \nI worked very hard to create a fair and balanced depiction of Opus Dei. Even so, there may be those who are offended by the portrayal. While Opus Dei is a very positive force in the lives of many people, for others, affiliation with Opus Dei has been a profoundly negative experience. Their portrayal in the novel is based on numerous books written about Opus Dei as well as on my own personal interviews with current and former members. \n\nSOME OF THE HISTORY IN THIS NOVEL CONTRADICTS WHAT I LEARNED IN SCHOOL. WHAT SHOULD I BELIEVE?\nSince the beginning of recorded time, history has been written by the "winners" (those societies and belief systems that conquered and survived). Despite an obvious bias in this accounting method, we still measure the "historical accuracy" of a given concept by examining how well it concurs with our existing historical record. Many historians now believe (as do I) that in gauging the historical accuracy of a given concept, we should first ask ourselves a far deeper question: How historically accurate is history itself?\n\nARE YOU

Plot Summary for\nThe Da Vinci Code (2006)\n\nWhile in Paris on business, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon ('Tom Hanks') receives an urgent late-night phone call: the elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum. Near the body, police have found a baffling cipher. Solving the enigmatic riddle, Langdon is stunned to discover it leads to a trail of clues hidden in the works of Da Vinci - clues visible for all to see, and yet ingeniously disguised by the painter. Langdon joins forces with a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu (Audrey Tautou), and learns the late curator was involved in the Priory of Sion - an actual secret society. In a breathless race through Paris, London and beyond, Langdon and Neveu match wits with a faceless powerbroker who appears to work for Opus Dei - a clandestine, Vatican-sanctioned Catholic organization believed to have long plotted to seize the Priory's secret. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle in time, the Priory's secret - and a stunning historical truth - will be lost forever.\n\nSummary written by bondish\n\nWhen respected American religious symbology expert Dr. Robert Langdon(Hanks) is summoned to the Louvre by the French version of the FBI, led by Captain Bezu Fache(Reno), he soon discovered that he is the #1 suspect for the murder of a historian Langdon had been scheduled to meet with.. Assisted by a French cryptographer and government agent named Sophie(Tautou), Langdon is challenged to decipher a chain of cryptic codes and puzzles, all the while trying to stay ahead of Fache's lawmen in a chase through the Louvre, and out into the Parisian cityscape, and finally across the channel to England. Can Langdon and Sophie decipher the nature of a secret dating back to Leonardo Da Vinci and earlier before those responsible for the historian's murder add them to their hit list..?\n\nSummary written by Austin4577@aol.com

It's a book that has a soft cover rather than a hard cover. Paperbacks are generally cheaper to buy.

66 books from Gen. to Reve.\n39 books are the Hebrew Scriptures (OT)\n\nGod is the author/ and it shows about 40 different human secretaries or scribes. God's finger began the writing by craving out the ten commandments on stone tablets.\n All types of men were used -shepherd, farmer,tent maker,fisherman,tax collector,physician,priest,prophet,king and so on.\n it has one basic theme from beginning to end and very connected even though written \nages apart.\n Copyists have preserved it for centuries. On finding the Dead Sea Scrolls other than some wording little has been changed the meaning was still correct.\n\nThe so called lost books (book of Judah and such) are not part of cannon as all the other books harmonized with each other from beginning to end-these did not. Remember even in Jesus day others wrote to dispute his teachings.

The "Da Vinci Code" is basically a mixture of distorted facts and fiction. I think the book is composed of about 90% fiction.\n\nThe author, Dan Brown, claims in his fact page that all his depictions of artworks, secret societies, and rituals are true. However, his main sources for the his 'facts'--"Holy Blood, Holy Grail" and "Templar Revelation"--are only pseudo-histories. Even the authors of "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" accept that Jesus MIGHT have been married, but it is UNLIKELY.\n\nThe Da Vinci Code supports the claim that Jesus might have been married by mentioning the Gnostic gospels. In reality, the Gnostic gospels don't mention much about Jesus's life. The only Gnostic gospel that suggests that Jesus was married was the Dead Sea Scrolls--but it is impossible to know whether the word "companion" meant "wife," because the words are in Coptic and they can't be translated the way Dan Brown says.\n\nOne more thing Brown claims to be true is that a secret organization, the Priory of Sion, exists to protect the "secrets" of Jesus's real life. The Priory of Sion was NOT created by Godfrey of Bouillon in the 11th century, it was only actually created in the 70s by an anti-semitic supporter of the Vichy government, Pierre Plantard, fir personal gain. He wrote a family tree of the Merovingian royal family and included himself on the list. He also made a list of the "Grand Masters" of the Priory of Sion. A great Renaissance painter, Leonardo Da Vinci, was included in the list. After writing all those documents, Pierre Plantard deposited them in the Bibliotheque Nationale and claimed to have "found" them years later. So the Priory of Sion was actually only a fake organization created by Plantard.\n\nBrown also says that the Church "demonized" Mary Magdalene. But she is actually a saint in both the Catholic and Orthodox churches. The only thing close to "demonizing" Magdalene that the Church did was sometime during the 6th century when Pope Gregory merged three women named "Mary" in the Bible into one person.\n\nOne more thing, Brown says that Jesus's divinity was created by the Council of Nicaea. The Council of Nicaea in A.D. 325 was actually a response to the threat of the Arian heresy, which claimed that Jesus was a semi-divine creature, not of the same being as God. This was quickly becoming a popular belief and threatening the unity of Christianity. \n\nThere are more facts that I can write, but I hope what I did write is enough. Read the books below in the sources.
