I’ve tried valiantly not to write about this, but I can’t stand it anymore, and besides, some of you have already found out. It also happens to be the one really cool thing in my life right now, and it’s keeping me from climbing a clock tower. I have been asked to lend a blurb from a review I wrote about The DaVinci Code. Not only that, I have to “revamp” it. Let’s get something straight: It’s really difficult to sound pithy and intelligent when you have to actually think about it. I cannot think of a single thing to say about this book. I am completely blocked. True, it was the best book I read last year (not to mention significantly more entertaining than Holy Blood, Holy Grail, and it drove me to read everything I could get my hands on about the Priory of Sion, but now I got nothin’. Everything I come up with sounds hackneyed and trite (thanks, Kev). I think I’ll stew over this one for a couple of days (I’ve got until Monday). I’ve always worked best under pressure.
