Have any of you read this book?

It's a thrilling read. If you have read it, I'd love to hear some thoughts.

Many people who have read my book or have visited my website have recommended that book to me, along with Foucault's Pendulum by Emberto Eco. Of course, they fail to realize that my "myth" is both "orthodox" and meant to ridicule such thinking (though I really do think there is something to my ideas!). The author wrote a book called Angels and Demons and is currently writing a book about the U.S. Capitol building. I also touch on these ideas. See www.elvis-conspiracy.com and the manifesto. O.K., this was a shameless plug, but it was on topic;)

In Foucault's Pendulum there's a great bit where the guy's girlfriend is basically saying, 'one:one head, two:two hands, three:primary colours' etc., going up to about twenty. It shows quite clearly that Pendulum is also a parody of all the Bible/Da Vinci/Nostradamus code madness. By the way, does anyone know anything about Eco's religious beliefs? He seems drawn to the Church, but that's maybe just because he's Italian.
Regards,
C.
