Latest read: The Lost Symbol

Just finished Dan Brown’s latest The Lost Symbol and was amused at the placement of Twitter in the book.  I wonder if Robert Langdon is finally tweeting? It was a nice quick departure from my usual reading habits.

The Lost SymbolAs usual Langdon finds himself wrapped in another mystery now focusing on the symbols of the Freemasons.

Never dull and boring Langdon sheds light on the role of religion in the U.S. Capital, George Washington portrayed as a God, the impact of Freemasons and more importantly Noetic Sciences.

I have enjoyed all of Browns novels revolving around Langdon and feel the books are much better than Ron Howard’s movie interpretations.
