This is the second of Dan Brown's books that I have read. In response to reading "The Da Vinci Code", I picked up this novel in order to understand the allusions made, and have found that I enjoyed this one even more. As a scientist (or at least a guy who dabbled in the sciences) I was intrigued with the quantum theories and his character's development. The hassasin was just as lovable as the homicidal albino monk in "Da Vinci Code". It was though Dan Brown was honing his characters' identities for the "Code", with careful considerations to all their ideocentricity. Plot development was similar with the veiled antagonists and plot twists in the end. The masons/knight templar are a great myth to expound on, for they were already mythic to begin with and thus provide a huge foundation to cultivate another tale. It is certain that Dan Brown has a skill in sensing excellent opportunities for generating publicity through his writing. Dan Brown's Church is a natural antagonistic entity, one that the reader can learn to hate. As with any great story, it is important to generate or link this kind of emotional draw to the reader. Brown has the talent of doing such things with both books mentioned. I had fantastic time learning about Rome, the Vatican and the wondrous architecture there. Because of these books, when I travel to Europe, I will take a Da Vinci and Angel's Tour of the city.

Judging from recent best-seller lists, this book (published in 2004) might seem to have been premature in its farewell to atheism. Or not. "The Twilight of Atheism" is more about history than arguments, and the history is fascinating. McGrath sees the golden age of atheism as beginning with the fall of the Bastille in 1789 and ending with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. McGrath's bottom line, as I understand it, is that atheism isn't doing very well these days because it's not compatible with the postmodern world view that's prevalent. (The postmodern world view isn't particularly friendly toward Christianity, either.) So perhaps the current outbreak of atheism at the bookstores is a case of being brightest before the dusk. Or perhaps its a reaction to another theme of McGrath's: that Christianity and other deistic religions are often their own worst enemies. My favorite quote from the book on that topic: "The English experience suggested that nobody really doubted the existence of God until theologians tried to prove it."
The short stories that were good, were REALLY good. However, there were a bunch of stories that I could not get through and ended up skipping. All in all, it was a decent collection.

This book is amazing. The anthropological aspects of the book are really well researched. The characters are very well depicted, either you love them or you hate them. The open ending translates really well to make you want to read the next book in the series. There are definitely a lot of issues with gender roles and women being submissive to men. If you like learning about anthropology and human evolution, this book is for you.

I read this book mainly because I was curious to see how close the American Psycho movie w/ Christian Bale came to the original novel. Let me tell you, the novel is 100x more graphic and disturbing than the movie. I thought the movie was gross, but man, this book? Yikes. Patrick Bateman earns his Psycho title. He's a yuppie who's so backwards in his ideals it's funny at times. He's disgusted when he sees a homeless person, someone wearing out of date fashion, or when he can't get a reservation at the restaurant of his choice, but he sees absolutely nothing wrong with sexually disfiguring and gutting a woman and then leaving her decapitated head out as a decoration on his designer kitchen table. When I was almost done with the book I decided to stop reading it, because it was just the same sick cycle played out again and again. And the descriptions of what he did to men and woman were just plain wrong. I felt wrong for even reading it! I'm not saying the book isn't well written - it is brilliant writing. I got the satire of it. Haha. A yuppie serial killer. I usually like violent stories involving serial killers.. but this particular serial killer has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. There wasn't one second where I felt like I could understand the reasons behind why he did these terrible things.
I am still in the process of reading it so expect further details... But from what I read, he does a judicious job analyzing his role and the environment around him in the years before and after 9/11...
