I read a book by Dan Brown, the guy who wrote Da Vinci Code. Been successfully ignoring him for years. But, someone had the book, enthused about it, put it in my hand. I will read any virtually any printed matter that someone puts into my hand. Our generic baking soda box, for example, has instructions on the side for using the soda as an antacid. 1/2 teaspoon in 4 oz water. Dissolve completely before drinking.

The Dan Brown book, Angels and Demons, was a fast read. I got it done in a day, with many interruptions for normal life. It had twists and turns, Roman architecture, and an immolation. It also had many, many incomplete sentences. At a point of crisis, there was a whole paragraph of fragments. Early in the book a mysterious particle physicist declares that he and his kind did, indeed, invent the internet. Brown also used the word “indignity” instead of “indignance.” It gets one thumb down and one thumb sideways.

I also read advertisements on people’s cars. Today there was a PT Cruiser with “Make Money By Selling Jerky” sign painted across the back window.

Sometimes if there’s nothing good on TV I will read the listings on channel 97. Dr. G. pointed one out the other day: When Surgical Instruments Get Left Behind. It was a full hour show, I believe.
