daVinci had nothing to do with this book.  He is a famous Renaissance artist and inventor/engineer.  So he got dragged into this because the author of this book used his name and fame in this work of fiction.  As to the underlying premise, well, the author of "The Da Vinci Code" stole it from other guys, who wrote a couple of books on the subject, one of which is "Holy Blood, Holy Grail."\n\nTheir books are much more credibly written and make the deal sound much more plausible.  How "real" their claims are is anybody's preference.  Baigent et al, the authors, claim that this Jesus was married, probably to Mary Magdelene, was slipped off the cross while still alive, recovered, and he and his family escaped to what would become France.\n\nWell, Baigent and his coauthors do in fact raise some very good questions about the whole traditional story of the lives of Jesus and his crowd.  Things there are not the neat and tidy package that traditional Christians like to think, so to speak.

What a fascinating observation. When I read Dan Brown's novel The Da Vinci Code, I remember thinking about this unusual connection between painter Leonardo da Vinci and hoaxster Rory Emerald too. I think author Dan Brown or perhaps another writer is definitely planning on publishing something about this. I have seen questions and answers under religion & spirituality about Rory Emerald before. Leonardo was psychically connected with Rory in some bizarre way. There are tons of stories about Leonardo and Rory all over the internet. What is going on? (great question, you got me interested!)

To Kill A Mockingbird?  This is one of the best books ever written.  I seriously suggest reading it.

My favorite book is Timeline by Michael Crichton. It is a very exciting read, and I love the combination of futuristic technology and medieval times into one story.

The celebrated hunter Sanger Rainsford, while aboard a yacht cruising in the Caribbean, falls into the sea. While swimming desperately for shore, he hears the anguished cries of an animal being hunted; it is an animal he does not recognize. \n\nRainsford makes it to land and after sleeping on the beach, he begins to look for people on the island. He finds evidence of the hunt he overheard and wonders, upon finding empty cartridges, why anyone would use a small gun to hunt what was, according to the evidence, obviously a large animal. Rainsford then follows the hunter's footprints to the solitary house on the island.\n\nThe mansion looms above him like something out of a Gothic novel and inside is a similarly Gothic character as well: Ivan, a gigantic, mute man. Ivan is about to shoot Rainsford when the entry of another man stops him. The second man, General Zaroff, is far more civilized looking than Ivan and has exquisite manners. He apologizes for Ivan and gives Rainsford clean clo.....\n\nZaroff tells Rainsford that he is going to play a game. A huntng game, and rainsford is the prey. In oder to get off the island, Rainsford must beat Zaroff. He gives Rainsford 3 days. HE does not tell him an rules. \n\n\nIn the end, Rainsford bets him at his own game an gets to Zaroff's house before Zaroff does

It's from the Count of Monte Christo by Baroness D'Orcay (not sure of the spelling here)so maybe if you look that up on the net - I think it was 'All the money to buy Italy' - but i'm not 100% sure. Chapter 18 of the book tings a bell - Good Luck!

da vinci code is a novel written by the famous author dan brown. he states in his book that jesus was married to mary magdalene and their bloodline is still existing in the world. he also states that the holy grail is not a cup but was the code name of mary magdalene. the most important theme of the book is the most famous artist(all-rounder infact!)leonardo da vinci has shown this in most of his paintings including "the last supper".though it is work of fiction, many christian communities are against this bcoz according 2 them it is blasphemous.but the book is really good.sorry for the looooong explanation though.bye!

I never heard of the book (if that's what it is), but I do know something about Copp's Hill.  It's a very old cemetery in Boston, dating back to Puritan times, probably before 1635.  So that might tell you something about the book.

The vicar returned to the rectory complaining bitterly that someone had stolen his bicycle while he'd been out on his parish calls.\n"I've got an idea," replied the verger."This Sunday in church make the Ten Commandments the theme of the sermon and when you get to "Thou shall not steal" watch their faces carefully for any tell-tale signs."\nSo that Sunday the vicar began his sermon but halfway through suddenly dried up and finished early.\n"What happened?" asked the verger later.\n"Well,I was going to do as you suggested but when I got to "Thou shall not commit adultery," I suddenly remembered where I'd left my bicycle."
