Rick, among an eager flock of my other friends, and spouse, hastened to alert me to Dan Brown’s intimation that he has more pop-folly revelations to offer in a sequel to The da Vinci Code.
Brown said the theory is backed by a number of "very credible sources," but that he ultimately decided it was too flimsy."For me, that was just three or four steps too far," he told the crowd of more than 800 people.
Based on The da Vinci Code, I have to wonder whether Dan Brown would know a “very credible source” if it bit him in a sensitive body part. Likewise, if the book he published wasn’t three or four steps too far, what counts as “outlandish”?
Oh, well; it’l make another several million badly-needed dollars for Brown, and another few pittances here and there for honest scholars who know what they’re talking about, clarifying the matters about which he waxes oracular. One might wish to inhabit a culture that valued scholarship and truth over fantasies dressed up as revelations, but it could be worse: He could be a bishop.
