You have an unsavory head and also you have what I can tell from here are double chins just coming into existance. If not fat your body is indoubtably sloppy, if not with man tits pertruding. If you weren't fat in infancy which I can tell you were. you got some what skinny on a diet of ciggarettes and hot pockets. You don't shave and you look like shit.
You were a fat kid. You are the fat kid. A tiger never changes its stripes.

So what's the verdict? Should we read Digital Fortress or not?
--
Why not?
It's a BOOK People. Nothing more nothing less. Not the best, but not the worst either. his books are works of fiction, if he believes in the strange crap that he writes about that is his problem it doesnt make his books any less fictional.
He's a crap writter who has been able to make millions out of selling a few mediocre books, so what? If you guys could do it you would.
He saw an opening for crap fiction and filled it and judging by his bank balance I guess he was right.
They are plane and train journey books, easily to engage with and remove brain function for a few hours.
I dont see why people create such a hue and cry over it.
p.s I like the pipe look Hurty it suits.

I didn't say the film was good, you cockjockey. In fact, I trashed it (the only good thing Ron Howard ever did was Apollo 13, and sometimes I wonder if that will be the fluke of his career). I only bought it cause Tantou was in it. Hey, it was a buck eighteen. worth a shot.

PS, HBTS, on the dvd, one of the extras is called, "How Tom Hanks BECAME Robert Langdon."
I shit you not.
Now, the 'cool internet people' of Uber will trash Hanks, but he has done somwe fine work, notably in Forrest Gump (say what you will about the movie, he created a great characters), Saving Private Ryan, and of course, Batchelor Party.
He could have become Langdon in his sleep. In fact, through most of the movie that appears to be the case.
Anyhow, I only bought the fucking thing cause Audrey Tantou was in it. What a doll she is.

Dipshits here tend to discount almost popular authors. It's the fucking professors in college who cause all of that. See ghola's opinion on mainstream fiction. Do'nt bother reading it, just listen to the prof's ideas.

From the Book of Bonk
Chapter 1, Verse 1
And I heard the first angel say "Lo! The Lord, thy God, so decreed that enmity must occur between the pale island dwellers and the corpulant colonies which sprang from their loins."
Verse 2
And so it was that the Lord thus created pulp colonist authors who found disfavor amonst the island dwellers and incited in them a biterness in their bellies.
Verse 3
Then the Lord said to the great serpent, "Behold I give unto thee dominion over popular the entertainment of both lands. And just like in the days of Nimrod, their languages shall become confused and thus they shall fight syntax wars with one another."
Verse 4
Satan then inquired of the Lord, "Why is it that you have given me such a charge?" To which the Lord answered, "BECAUSE BOTH OF THEM HAVE GOTTEN ON MY LAST MOTHERFUCKING NERVE!" Amen.

Are you fucking for real? Read a proper book that wasn't written by numbers and you might see the error of your ways.
Just in case you need it spelled out, let's draw some parallels shall we? Both feature a long supposed dead group protecting some big fucking secret? Check. Both have some woman that Langdon fancies? Check. Both have a silent assassin type chappie? Check. Both involve the Catholic church? Check. Both have retarded 'twist' endings? Check. Do you want me to go on or are you embarrassed enough yet?
-------------------

=================
OK, there's a retarded code to crack, there's a big ole chase sequence and Langdon comes across as a complete douche (again). Dan Brown is a fucking shite author, though I still plan to read 'Digital Fortress' and whatever that other one is in order to fully realise his utter retardation.
The fact that the Catholic church made such a fuss about The Da Vinci Code serves to prove that they are just as fucking stupid as Brown. Doesn't matter really anyway, I've got 'Snow Falling on Cedars' to continue reading this evening; I'm only two chapters in and it's already better than anything Dan Brown is capable of.

Angels and Demons > the DaVinci Code.
========
They're the same book with a different 'conspiracy', nimrod.
----------------------
False.
They have completely different storylines, and I made the mistake of reading Angels and Demons first, which ruined DaVinci Code (and all his other books) for me, because the former has a better plot, and much better plot twists than all the others combined.
Digital fortress is ok, not great but ok. I figured out how it was going to end (i.e. what the password was) way before the end, which kind of ruined it for me. PS, it's the number 3, same as the number of fingers on the guy who created the code.
There's a fourth book... i forget the name but it deals with the government finding an 'extraterrestrial' lifeform on the north pole. It was ok too.
His best book is still Angels and Demons, period.
Any fucktard who says it's the same book as DVC is illiterate.

Cyrus the Great figures in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) as the patron and deliverer of the Jews. He is mentioned twenty-three times by name and alluded to several times more. [1] From these statements it appears that Cyrus the Great, king of Persia, was the monarch under whom the captivity of the Jews ended, for in the first year of his reign he was prompted by Yahweh to make a decree that the temple in Jerusalem should be rebuilt and that such Jews as cared to might return to their land for this purpose. Moreover, he showed his interest in the project by sending back with them the sacred vessels which had been taken from the temple and a considerable sum of money to buy building materials with.
================================================
Caleb (Hebrew כָּלֵב; Tiberian vocalization: Kālēḇ; Hebrew Academy: Kalev), the son of Jephunneh, is an important figure in the Hebrew Bible, noted for his faith in God when the Hebrew nation refused to enter the "promised land" of Canaan.

Would you stop blaming everything you don't like on America?
I mean, do you like everything else every other country in the world produces?
Jesus, man. If you want to hate something American, hate something worth hating: the whole Bush/Cheney crew. I'm not defending this shithole. I've suffered more at the hands of asshole Americans than you'll ever dream of.
But dude. It's getting fucking old.
At least Dan Brown never hurt anybody. That I know of. Possibly.
Nice get up though. I love the way your hair accentuates the pipe.
In your mouth.
