wheee!!

The da Vinci Code is a fantastical book. I got to the last part of it and something happened that I was just floored by. Never saw it coming (the other I saw very early on) and was completely awed by the author's skill. Dan Brown, the book gets released next week. Go. Read it.

Am now about to start on Christopher Moore's Lamb: The Gospel According to biff, Christ's Childhood Pal. How can you go wrong with that?

And it has the best introduction to a book I have ever seen:

If you have come to these pages for laughter, may you find it.
If you have come here to be offended, may your ire rise and your blood boil.
If you seek an adventure, may this story sing you away to blissful escape.
If you need to test or confirm your beliefs, may you reach comfortable conclusions.
All books reveal perfection, by what they are or what they are not.
May you find that which you seek, in these pages or outside them.
May you find perfection, and know it by name.

I have the next couple of days off and may have to look back into the lives of my ims to see what I can inflict on them. I blame those of you who have mentioned it recently. You know who you are.

That and reading. And practicing drawing. And catching up on my sleep as I am operating on 2 hours since 8am yesterday morning.
