So now the masons and the Mormons will be blamed for creating Skull and Bones and producing George Bush.

I don't get it. I read the book, and thought it was really stupid.

Oh goody, another book/movie to make people think the Masons are a big evil conspiracy that controls the world...
Dan Brown isn't a bad author as long as you take his writing as the fiction it is.. the problem is too many people take his books seriously.

[Servant of the 9]

A film version of the novel, starring Tom Hanks as the Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon, and Audrey Tautou, who played the title role in Amélie in 2001, as the French cryptographer Sophie Neveu, opens in May.

So now we know when the book will come out.
It probably would have anyway to catch the summer vacation reading surge.

Tom Clancy for Conspiracy Nuts?

Sounds George Washington related...He was THE BIG MASON in Williamsburg, Va. and their are many references to events he attended as being done in "Masonic Fashion".

There was also a 1750 Fraternity at William and Mary College in Williamsbugh Virginia. The name appears in letters only (FHC) and no one ever has said what the Latin would be. Thomas Jefferson was a member of this "Secret Club".

In the 19th and 20th century, it called the Flat Hat Club. It was specific to friendship, mirth, conviviality, science and charity.

Anyone remember their Latin?? Wanna Guess?

Just a reminder .....Dan Brown ...writer of FICTION.

[Range Rover]

Looks like Brown has just "Fictionalized" The Hiram Key by Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas this go-round...how original

Next up will be Graham Hancock's Fingerprints of the Gods or maybe he'll re-write The Templar's Secret Island by Henry Lincoln.

This guy has quite a racket going. There is certainly plenty of source material to pull from. Can't wait until he works Oak Island, Rennes-le-Château, Bérenger Saunière, Visigothic treasure troves and maybe even the discovery of the Ark during Timkat in Ethiopia....Should be good for at least ten more volumes, I would think.

Okay, I have my DVC right here . . . all it has on the cover is "The Da Vinci Code," "Dan Brown," "Author of Angels & Demons," part of the Mona Lisa's face, and some script that (if I know my Tolkien, and believe y'all me, I do know my Tolkien) looks to be Elvish.

[old_sage_says]

I thought "Angels and Demons" was better than "The Da Vinci Code".

Both books are works of fiction and nothing else.

I still feel better after reading anything that Vince Flynn pens. Mitch Rapp is the man.

LOL, great comment.

BTW, from accounts, Joseph Smith's last words were "Oh Lord, my God."
