Dear Readers,
Please do not give “The Da Vinci Code” anything other than one star on GoodReads. I’m disgusted that the average rating is 3.50 (out of 5.0) on that site for this trash.
Thank you.
Best,
MRod

This is an excerpt from a friend of mine’s defunct blog. He’s in a Classics program and studies pirates in Greco-Roman times. He also has a pirate gang, whatever that means. And he had a real-life close encounter with Dan Brown, and I think you’ll especially appreciate his response. He has balls of steel. And, in the interest of full disclosure, I have never read the Da Vinci Code:
“So there’s this girl who works at the coffee shop where I read most mornings. We’ll call her ‘Nicole.’ Because that’s her real name. Anyway, a few days ago, she noticed that I was reading The Pirate Hunter, a fine biography of Captain William Kidd (d. 1701). I graciously offered to pass it on to her once I had finished it. A few minutes ago, I made ready to hand over the book as Nicole was pouring my cup of coffee. Nicole excitedly said she was looking forward to reading it, just as soon as she’s done working her way through The DaVinci Code. Forthwith, I took back the book and proclaimed that this particular piratical volume was ‘off limits to members of the Dan Brown Book Club.’ Snobby? Perhaps, but pirates and gang members and members of pirate gangs need not accommodate the literary shortcomings of anyone. Perhaps I’ll offer her the book on the condition that she first gets a skull n bones tattoo and joins the gang. And renounces Dan Brown forever.”

I HATE THAT BOOK SO MUCH.
