I'm just not saying it right. If you have to have me on the defensive, I meant that I read the book for myself. I thought Lydia hadn't but just pasted someone else's comments. After reading the book, I looked into discussions by Academics for and against Dan Brown's theories. I wouldn't have done that if I hadn't read the book for myself first. The in depth discussions about many individual topics raised in the book left you to make up your own mind, and shed some light on historical fact. It wasn't a 10 paragraph commentary on someone reading the entire book and summing it all up for you, hence doing your thinking for you. Now I'll have to ask YOU. Did you read Dan Brown's book or Dan Burstein's book? Or did I make you laugh again.
