I want to be a Chalice

| | Comments (2)

I'm a little behind on the phenom, but I'm all about The DaVinci Code. Not the most well-written book though certainly not the worst I've every read and some of the clues even I figured out and I'm sort of a dummy so it's not like rocket science or anything. There is something about the book that kept me turning the pages and devouring the book in two days though; something about all the codes and symbology and the history of Christianity which, true or not, I almost fully believe in. It was also a kick for me because every time he mentions the Opus Dei Headquarters on Lexington Avenue in New York City (he mentions it exactly like that and he mentions it a lot ) I got chills because for years I walked past it being built on my way to and from work and couldn't for the life of me figure out about the double entrances on Lexington Ave and on 34th Street, but now I know. I also now need to start paying more attention to the trail of black-clothed priests streaming in and out of there to see if they're walking funny or have blood-stained pants. That's all I'm saying.

And albinos--keep a sharp eye out for the albinos! :-)

(Fun book, isn't it? I swear to God that every other person in the airports the other day seemed to be reading it. Oh, and nice title for your post there--ewwwww!)

Opus Dei creeps me out. We had a bunch of them at Notre Dame and one of the guys was in the Honors Program with me. I kept thinking of him sitting there in a hair shirt or with a wire digging into his leg and I couldn't concentrate on the lecturer at all...
