Sorry to drag this back a page, but


I, on the other hand, was buying "Revolutionary Road" - ask me in a month and i'll tell you if its any good


Great choice, but be warned, you'll hate it for the first 4 or 5 chapters, but then find your self hooked. It's totally worth it in the end and I'd love to hear what you think of it.


I've never ever read Dan Brown. I did watch a bit of the Da Vinci Code film, but five minutes in I turned to MrJ and said "So, the old guy's the badie and the girl's the holy grail, when does the mystery bit start?" I've always hoped that's because the film was dumbed down a bit compared with the book.

DB does seem to have gone downhill from a moderate start.


Digital Fortress - Entertaining

Angels and Demons - Quite Entertaining

Da Vinci Code - Holy Blood and Holy Grail was better


His books are pool side candy floss. So much of this is produced but with Da Vinci he somehow managed to tap into a zeitgeist and things became silly. All the other authors of summer-holiday novels must be gutted.

    • The skate park organically grew out of the situation to make it permanent defeats the purpose and the philosophy of such places
    • Hi there. If you have any half-tins of varnish (or any type of wood finish) that you're not going to use and you would like to get rid of it without dumping it, i can come and collect and will put it to good use.  I am interested in all wood finishes, natural or synthetic, including: varnish, tung oil, Danish oil, teak oil, linseed oil, polyeurathane, acrylic, wood stain, decking oil, deck varnish, yacht varnish, spar varnish, lacquer, beeswax, shellac, etc. (no paint thanks). Let me know what you have and we can agree a pickup time. Also happy to do contactless collection if you prefer to just leave it outside.  Thanks
    • It doesn't need redeveloping.  The skate park is a perfect use.
    • Rather shocking news given the apparent circumstances (still under investigation): Gene Hackman, his wife Betsy Arakawa, and their dog https://www.theguardian.com/film/2025/feb/27/gene-hackman-dies-wife-dog-95
