I’m not a great reader or a speed reader, but I am a reader.   Often I read too
much from the web and magazines and the books I teach from and not enough
complete books. I am into a book, a novel at the moment that I do expect
to complete – Angels and Demons written by Dan Brown. Ron Howard says that
as long as Brown turns out this type book, he (Howard) will keep turning them into movies.  Howard made The DeVinci Code into a movie, and Brown wrote that. Angels and demons are more metaphorical than metaphysical in the first couple of hundred pages. I didn’t realize that Angels and Demons had already become a movie. I found a review for it but refused to read more than the first paragraph not wanting to spoil my reading of the book. There is some science and history and some symbology (ooops, Dan, my spell check doesn’t like your word). All the academic background and copious detail make the action impossibly slow or implausible. Not so bad for the book; the reader’s mind compensates, but we can see
why the movie would not get the notice that The DeVinci Code got.

I recommend the book though I’ve not finished.  I don’t recommend the movie though
it could well be worth the price at the cinema (I’ve heard few Americans go to the cinema
anymore since cable gives rentals within a short time after release).

What has the story of Angels and DEMONs got to do with STAR TREK? The power of anti-matter.
