Reading, Reading, Reading
Still enjoying my vacation. Spent a few days in Baltimore/VA visiting my grandmother and other family–it’s good to see my cousin after his 2 years in the Peace Corps. Lots of pictures were taken with the new camera Michael got my for Christmas, but I haven’t installed the software and downloaded the pictures yet.
Why haven’t I?
Because I’m reading Robin Hobb’s ‘Tawny Man’ series. We’d been waiting for the third book to come out in paperback, so now we have the third book, I’m absorbed. (In fact the only reason I’m not reading right now is that I have to go to the grocery store, and knew that if I picked up my book, I’ll not make it to the store this morning.
So no serious posts (in fact I’m hardly checking my e-mail), no dwelling on the news, just enjoying my vacation. Hope that others are able to do the same.

i got a new digital camera this xmas, too, meesh. and i haven’t installed the s/w for it, either. i’m also engrossed in a book (davinci code). i’ve decided that henceforth, vacations are for giving my brain some new scenery/imagery, too.

How is the DaVinci code? My mom has it, and my grandmother’s read it, but it just seemed way too overhyped to be any good (if that makes sense).

i just have the epilogue to go. um, if you’re not looking for Fine Literature, it’s just fine. It kinda drags on the suspense a little longer than it needed too in some parts, imho, but mostly it was a good yarn, a good page-turner. For me, it was quality edutainment.

Is it as anti-Catholic as I’d heard? Though my grandmother didn’t seem to mind, so I guess it couldn’t be that bad.

um, not sure what you’ve heard, but no chance it could it ever be construed as a catholic recruitment tool. on the whole though, i think it’s fair. it’s a very interesting slant on catholicism’s relationship to paganism. lots of juicy tidbits of ideas/facts to follow up in additional research. it is worth a read.
