Da Vinci Code - Who's NOT reading it?!

[acw]

I'm interested to find out if I am the last person standing (or sitting or lying) who has neither read, nor plans to read the Da Vinci Code.  If that's you, please add an "answer" so we can count!

 

If you HAVE read it, please enjoy the other Dan Brown threads, and leave this one to the social outcasts! :-)

 

FINALLY, like quitting smoking, if I decide I want to read the book, that will be MY decision, no amount of external pressure will change my mind.  Therefore PLEASE don't use this thread to tell me/others to read it. 

 

This is merely a confessional! (haha- yes, I know the book has something to do with Catholics, and they have confessionals, I'm so funny!)

I've never read "Captain Corelli's Mandolin". Remember how big that book was a few years back?

Please stop posting about Da Vinci Code on here.  we're meant to be posting about NOT the Da Vinci Code.  This is the anti-Da Vinci Code thread!! :p  This does not give you all permission to criticise content, style, plot or any other aspect of this bok - Because if you're here you shouldn't have read it.

(Before you get ants in your pants, I am joking and being friendly, with an edge of seriousness about me! :-p)

I read about 3 chapters of Corelli.  Chapter 2 was excellent, but then I got totally bored and I just couldn't be bothered with a book that the author had deliberately made "difficult" to get into.  I just found that snobby and snooty and mean!

Nope, have'nt read it and don't intend to!

[5029]

no intentions

[graemer]

acw don't be mean to those of us that wish we hadn't read it, we want to be in your gang!

Well, that settles it.  I can't ever read a book with Tom Hanks being the lead in the film of the book.  Even as I write he's probably signing up.

Sorry, I did read it, and I wish I had spent my time doing something better, such as standing in a puddle in the dark.

[acw]

I keep getting told off by answerbank here.  Apparently we are to encourage totally irrelevant answers!

 

Graemer - Anyone can be in (my) the gang!  People who regret reading it just make us feel that we are even more right!!! :-D

 

I didn't mean to upset anyone, and apparently some people can't take a joke and have reported my answers.  I do wish people would learn to detect sarcasm and not be so easily offended.  Still, eggshell skulls i suppose - all my fault.  I am very sorry for upsetting anyone.

a plague on you! graemer we should set up a "i can't believe i just wasted that many hours reading this dire book" gang

[acw]

Banned again.  And no explanation.  I might just close this thread cos I'm getting annoyed now.

I read a short piece at the weekend where the Author Bernard Cornwell mentioned that the DVC story had been done earlier and better by someone elsein a short story, I think he said D.H.Lawrence, can anyone provide details of the short story to which he was referring please ?

[netibiza]

Haven't read it YET but was given it for Spanish Mothers' Day so suppose I will read it one day.

[flaming]

graemer: how right you are about Hanks. So everybody you read it here first. You can see the film next year so can wait for that.  The albino organisation in America is anxious that albinos aren't portrayed negatively thus the film producers are changing that bit (whatever that bit is), so I have read.

Afraid I read it before it became trendy to. Found it quite offensive as a Catholic.

Some guy has done a spoof called 'The Asti Spumante Code'. Might check that out though.
