I read your book / And I find it strange
 
So I'm (finally, I suppose) listening to The DaVinci Code as an audio book. And i have this weird love-hate relationship with it. On one hand, it talks a lot (so far anyway) about Fibonacci numbers, which is interesting. And Phi. Also interesting. But on the other hand... I'm more than 20 chapters in, and I feel like most of the book so far has taken place inside the heads of each of the individual characters. Like, one character says something, which reminds the other character of a time when she was 10 and living with her grandfather, so she proceeds to think through the entire incident (5 or 10 minutes of the audio book), then resume conversation with the first character as through no time has passed (which, I'm guessing, it hasn't). This would be ok, if it didn't happen at least twice in every single conversation.

I guess the author is trying to make sure that we have all the necessary background information. It just seems a little forced or something.

Anyway. I will probably finish the book, just to see how it ends. I'm not sure how I think it should end, because I'm really not sure where it's going from here. But, as long as the author keeps throwing in semi-interesting logic puzzles, I'll probably stay at least interested enough to finish it out.
