The Da Vinci Code
This book is 7th, in the Amazon sales ranking. Now normally I would quite
happily ignore any book as popular as this (with the exception of Harry Potter).
I don't like reading what everyone else is. I think there are a great number of
fantastic books written by authors who are struggling to get off the mid list, and I would
rather spend my time with those. Unfortunately in this case the main character,
Robert Langdon, has caught my attention. This character is a professor of Religious
Symbology at Harvard university, and it is the way in which symbolism gets worked into Dan
Brown's books, which keeps them extremely interesting. Although the books are
works of fiction, elements of truth are undoubtably present. To reveal the hidden truths,
I found that 'Cracking the Da Vinci Code' by Simon Cox, was an excellent companion. |

Holy Cow and Indian Adventure
This book is an international best seller, and not without good reason! If your a student
of the social sciences, you might find that exploring other cultures gives you an incredible
insight into the human condition and if you like Bill Bryson, this is going to be right up your street.
Holy Cow, is a gem of a book, which lets the reader in on Sarah McDonalds experiences
whilst living in India.
India is a land where there is no 'in between', it's the land of extremes. The land where the
profane sits side by side with the profound as Sarah herself puts it. Within
she finds herself on a spiritual journey, exploring each of the religions and taking from each
some wisdom for herself. The book begins with a beggars prophesy, that Sarah would one day return and
fall in love with the country. Does she? Read it and find out!

Dark Ghosts Rising, by Sergio Burns
Sergio Burns has been known to visit Gerard's Forum from time to time. I remember a while back there
were some whispers regards what was to come. And here it is. The exact size and shape of Mike
Cardwell's A - Z, only a whole lot more entertaining. I have started it, the detailed review
will come once I have finished reading it.
