If you visited google today, you probably are aware that today is Da Vinci’s birthday. His genius came back into conventional awareness by a popular book that blew the minds of a great many people who probably never heard of Robert Anton Wilson.

I might get around to reading the Da Vinci Codes one day, as I have heard it’s a real barnburner; but I am not in a real hurry to do so after starting it’s previous work, Angels and Demons. Yes, Codes is actually the second book of a series. Angels and Demons has to be the very worst book I have ever read — with the possible exception of Harbou’s Metropolis.

So if you like to cringe, be sure to check that one out.
