Thinking about McDonald's made me hungry. Hello 8-MCDO? HAHA! :P

Is it a little late of me to join the Dan Brown bandwagon? Specifically the most controversial novels of the renowned author. The ones that both were made into major motion pictures, and the ones that have been raved by many and reviled by the Catholic Church. What else is it to talk about but The Da Vinci Code and its prequel, Angels and Demons. Forgive my if it's a little late of me to realize that these books are great. Perhaps even the word great is an understatement I'm not sure.

I first heard Dan Brown when the whole controversy of the production of the motion picture [Da Vinci Code] took center stage on most televisions and other means of the media worldwide a few years back. It intrigued me to be honest, because of its engrossing and controversial plots. Apparently too engrossing and controversial that it shook the very foundation of Christianity across the globe. But then to tell you the truth I was afraid that my comprehension was not yet ready for such compelling novels around those years. No, I'm not talking about the whole Science versus Religion thing, I mean the whole idea of the novels. I was afraid that the tone of the story was somewhat mature that I wouldn't grasp any information out of it if that makes sense. So for that time around, I just focused myself on wizards and magic and wands and wardrobes that lead to a new world and recently vampires and the like. Nonetheless, I believe there's always a start for everything and I think I'm capable enough to comprehend these works now. Haha. I wish.

What forced me to read it was when I first saw the Angels and Demons movie trailer. Weird right? I also saw this Illuminati featurette on Youtube that was so enticing and Robert Langdon's ingenuity was also a plus. The intriguing Path of Illumination and also the concept of the Anti-matter also caught my reading attention. Now the question that's been bugging me is which one should be read first? I've discovered that Angels and Demons was chronologically first and was published in 2000 while The Da Vinci Code was published later in 2003. But DVC was first made into a movie followed by Angels and Demons this year. Do I have to read it using the chronological order or the one that Hollywood suggested? Is it all just a matter of preferences? Few are claiming that you'll be able to understand Angels and Demons if you read Da Vinci first. HUH? I'm confused.

Anyways, before I leave I found these interesting and provoking quotes I might say out of the two novels in this specific site. Reading them again just excites me more and more. I know Dan Brown won't disappoint. :)

• "The Bible did not arrive by fax from heaven…The Bible is the product of man, my dear. Not of God. The Bible did not fall magically from the clouds. Man created it as a historical record of tumultuous times, and it has evolved through countless translations, additions, and revisions. History has never had a definitive version of the book." -- The Da Vinci Code

• "Nothing in Christianity is original. The pre-Christian God Mithras - called the Son of God and the Light of the World - was born on December 25, died was buried in a rock tomb, and then resurrected in three days. By the way, December 25 is also the birthday or Osiris, Adonis, and Dionysus. The newborn Krishna was presented with gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Even Christianity’s weekly holy day was stolen from the pagans." -- The Da Vinci Code

• "Originally Christianity honored the Jewish Sabbath of Saturday, but Constantine shifted it to coincide with the pagan’s veneration day of the sun. To this day, most churchgoers attend services on Sunday morning with no idea that they are there on account of the pagan sun god’s weekly tribute - Sunday." -- The Da Vinci Code

• “Most Americans do not see Europe as the world leader in scientific research. They see us as nothing but a quaint shopping district – an odd perception if you consider the nationalities of men like Einstein, Galileo, and Newton.” -- Angels and Demons
