i got into the story of the davinci code, but i thought it was poorly written. i never even thought about picking up a&d.
oh, and was someone talking about middlesex? i read it a few years ago, and i just read it again when oprah announced it as a selection on her show…i loved it that much!

I am commenting twice on my own post. Who am I?

I must admit, I think that the audiobook format probably made the A&D experience much worse for me. But the last line — something about “I guess you’ve never been to bed with a yoga master” — made me throw up in my mouth a little.

And I’m sort of the person who hates people because I heard their twin say something stupid. which is why I have no problem with hating a book because its predecessor sucked. I also could not stand all the fabricated controversy surrounding DVCode.

And lastly — Art Nerd, you post-it noted over EVERY reference to DaVinci? That’s dedication!

Oooh, I loved Book-It. Maybe I’ll try to find one of my old buttons to wear around for old time’s sake.

I loved both of the books. Not because of the way they were written, but because I thought the story idea was so cool.

Most everyone else I know didn’t like them either.

I love Angels and Demons! Although I think listening to it for the first time on audio book is probably what turned you off it.
