Dan Brown Books

I finished reading the third Dan Brown book - "Digital Fortress".

Only recently I started reading english books. Until now, I thought that I was a slow reader, when it came to reading story books. But I amazed myself by finishing the entire book over a weekend - with all the distractions with kids, grocery list and other errands.

The first one I read was "Da Vinci Code". I picked that because I saw many people reading it. Some, in our office, some during my last trip to Milwaukee and back. I did not have the courage to ask any of them about the book, because of my own ignorence about english novels. I had seen a bunch of english movies based on John Grisham. I realized it only after watching those movies, that they originally were books published, etc. Then on, I had this burning desire within me to read at least one book, before it became a movie. So when I saw many people reading "Da Vincy Code", I felt this book might become a movie sometime. That's how I ended up picking up "Da Vinci Code".

I was fascinated by the story, and liked his simple language, that I decided to buy "Angels and Deamons". This one too, was really good. I liked the Dan's way of explaining seemingly complex technical stuff like particle physics. I took around a couple of weeks to finish each book.

Then recently I found an sale going on in eBay, for the remaining two books Dan Brown had authored. So I didn't hesitate to place the order, and witihin the next couple days, I found myself reading one of the two - "Digital Fortress". Even though the story is not as interesting as the earlier two, I kept reading, mainly because it was a story about the field which I am working on - computers. I enjoyed this book as well.

I finished reading that book yesterday. Got one more to go - Deception Point. I will read that during my trip to Kerala next week.
