Lovely to see you back. What has been going on in the rest of your life?

Great to see you back! Don't leave it so long this time (pretty please?)!

Hee! I promise I won't. :)

And I'm sorry I wasn't around to say this at the time, but a massive congratulations on getting married! :) I've just scrolled back through your livejournal now and seen the pictures - looks like it was a really wonderful day, and you both looked great! Congratulations again. :)

Aw, thank you! It was a lovely day, indeed. And I'm glad I have the photos to remember it, as I was in a big daze the whole time!

I'm currently reading Angels And Demons myself. Much less with the rambling monlogues in language that no normal person would use this time; although it's almost exactly the same plot as The Da Vinci Code, isn't it? He gets a call in the middle of the night to go and look at a sinister ritual murder; he meets up with a woman who turns out to be the adopted daughter of the victim; they traverse a series of puzzles and codes to get to the answers they need; and although I'm nowhere near the end yet, I strongly suspect the mastermind behind it all will be The One We Least Suspect.

But the book gets a million bonus points for the line 'He was like Hugh Grant on lithium'. And the fantastic speech by the camerlengo about science vs. religion which reflects everything I think about science, and at the same time proves that science and religion will always be in stalemate - science gives us cures for diseases, television and mass communication but it also gives us weapons of mass destruction and global warming. religion also gives us things ( ... )

Angels And Demons really is so similar to The Da-Vinci Code in structure and plot elements isn't it! I loved all the stuff in it about The Illuminati, and I really enjoyed the exploration of science and religion too (especially the speech you mention.) I won't say much more save spoiling it!

Have you heard about the upcoming movie of the Da Vinci Code? What do you think of Tom Hanks being cast as Robert Langdon?

I think it's the worst piece of casting it has ever been my misfortune to witness. Only George Clooney as Batman was a worse casting decision ( ... )
