Distracted Reading
Today, I started reading The Da Vinci Code . I got the illustrated version form my birthday, from my brother and his wife. This is the first adult book I have read with pictures in a very long time, and it is driving me batty! There seems to be a picture on ever third page or so, and I can't keep from looking at it while I am reading. Maybe once the newness wares off it will be easier to read. I can't tell if I like it or not since I have only read about 20 pages or so. Check with me later.

I don't read books normally, but honest to God, I am soooo in love with this book, I have now ordered or purchased all the rest of Dan Brown's collection. I'm so loving his writing style!
I loved the book too, and immediately dusted off my old art history books to look at the paintings. But wow, I didn't know an illustrated version was out! I'll have to get my hands on that one.
The book did make me realize that I should have done more traveling before I had kids. The thought of running off to Paris sounded so appealing. You'll see what I mean.
At my bookstore, the illustrated book runs for $35. I also heard on the evening news last nite that there are guided tours in England & in France that take you thru the Da Vinci book places. I would LOVE to see some of these places.
