| Quotes [Taken from Angels and Demons] �My next experiment will make scientific history. I plan to prove that neutrinos have mass.� �Neutrinos have mass?� Langdon shot her a stunned look, �I didn�t even know they were Catholic!� ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [Taken from The Da Vinci Code] �Throughout history, the Holy Grail has been the most special.� Langdon grinned. �Now you know why.� Faukman was still shaking his head. �But with all these books written about it, why isn�t this theory more widely known?� �These books can�t possibly compete with centuries of established history, especially when that history is endorsed by the ultimate best seller of all time.� Faukman�s eyes went wide. �Don�t tell me Harry Potter is actually about the Holy Grail.� �I was referring to the Bible.� Faukman cringed. �I knew that.� ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [Taken from Deception Point] *These quotes are taken from a part in the book where the characters are located in the Arctic Circle trying to heat up a meteorite to get it out from under an ice shelf. Rachel could now see the ice above the stone beginning to bulge upward like a pregnant beast about to give birth. Atop the hump, surrounding the laser�s point of entry, a small circle of ice began to give way, melting, dissolving into a widening hole. �Cervix is dilated!� someone shouted. �Nine hundred centimetres!� ~~~~~~~~ Corky approached. �A true pleasure, ma�am. I didn�t catch your name.� �Rachel,� she said. �Rachel Sexton.� �Sexton?� Corky let out a playful gasp. �No relation to that short-sighted, depraved senator, I hope!� Tolland winced. �Actually, Corky, Senator Sexton is Rachel�s father.� Corky stopped laughing and slumped. �You know, Mike, it�s really no wonder I�ve never had any luck with the ladies.� ~~~~~~~~ Norah Mangor�s voice blared, �Are we going outside or shall I get you two some candles and champagne?� ~~~~~~~~ �Drinks are on me!� he yelled, handing out cans of beer to his cavorting staff. �Hey boss!� someone yelled. �Thanks! It�s even cold!� Ekstrom gave a rare smile. �I�ve been keeping it on ice.� Everyone laughed. �Wait a minute!� someone else yelled, scowling good-naturedly at his can. �This stuff�s Canadian! Where is your patriotism?� �Were on a budget, here, folks. Cheapest stuff I could find.� More laughter. �Attention shoppers,� one of the NASA television crew yelled into a megaphone. �Were about to switch to media lighting. You may experience temporary blindness.� �And no kissing in the dark,� someone yelled. �This is a family program!� Ekstrom chuckled, enjoying the raillery as his crew made final adjustments to the spotlights and accent lighting. �Switching to media lighting in five, four, three, two...� The dome�s interior dimmed rapidly as the halogen lamps shut down. Within seconds, all the lights were off. An impenetrable darkness engulfed the dome. Someone let out a mock scream. �Who pinched my ass?� someone yelled, laughing. ~~~~~~~~~ |
| You may have already seen his books in a newspaper or magazine because recently they have been top sellers. If you enjoyed the Harry Potter series, then I guarantee that you will love these books too. Even though The Da Vinci Code seems to be more popular and much more well known than Dan Brown�s other books, do not read it before Angels and Demons because it is the prequel to The Da Vinci Code and also because Angels and Demons is alot better anyway. His books get you hooked from the first page (suitable for Gayathrees) and include loads of twists in the story. Angels and Demons and its sequel, The Da Vinci Code are (in my opinion) the most interesting books that I have ever read. The whole story is [apparantly] based on fact, all of the buildings, ancient brotherhoods and architecture written about are all [apparantly] true. Maybe when I read the books again (because I know I will) I will make a list of all of the interesting stuff. But then again maybe I wont. |
