Anybody ever notice that the Denver Internation Airport looks like a big Swastica from the air??????





HAHAHAH!!!
Geoffrey K. Pullum said of Dan Brown, author of The Da Vinci Code, "Brown's writing is not just bad; it is staggeringly, clumsily, thoughtlessly, almost ingeniously bad. In some passages scarcely a word or phrase seems to have been carefully selected or compared with alternatives. I slogged through 454 pages of this syntactic swill, and it never gets much better. Why did I keep reading? Because London Heathrow is a long way from San Francisco International, and airline magazines are thin, and two-month-old Hollywood drivel on a small screen hanging two seats in front of my row did not appeal, that's why. And why did I keep the book instead of dropping it into a Heathrow trash bin? Because it seemed to me to be such a fund of lessons in how not to write. . .And he writes like the kind of freshman student who makes you want to give up the whole idea of teaching."

hilarious Da Vinci Code / Dan Brown Bashing!!!

I'm actually looking for an article written by Craig Clevenger, author of the Contortionist's Handbook where he compared excerpts from theD.V.C. to paragraphs from horrible supermarket paperback romance novels. I haven't found the article so if anybody knows where to find it, please direct me.

All this makes me laugh because when i read that fucking book i kept repeating to myself, "wow, this is awful. This is so poorly written. Style, mechanics; it's a peice of garbage. For a book to be so controversial, yet the controversy of something so poorly written being not only published, but so widely accepted by readers as adequate reading material was never even brought up. I could write a better novel than this."

Anyway, i thought some of you might find this all a bit funny.
