How did it literally change your life? That's the first time I've heard a Dan Brown book being called such haha. Is that the one with the cryptography?

I have also purchased some more novels including War and Peace, Don Quixote and A murder is Announced. Don't have no idea which one to start first.
War and peace will take you a year to read. I have a classmate who finished in 3 weeks.He is a genius but I ain't bad either. You don't need to be a genius to read fast. The question is, did he take it all in? Actually he is as intelligent as I am, we are both among most intelligent academically.But he is a keen reader so it didn't shock me when he finish. Can't say how much he took in but he finished it that's for sure.

My sister gave me this book 5 years ago, and it literally changed my life. I have read other Titles by Dan Brown but missed this one , how does it compare to Angels & Demons , Da Vinci code , No spoiler please They're all good, but I think Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons are his best. I haven't read the latest one. My sister gave me this book 5 years ago, and it literally changed my life. How did it literally change your life? That's the first time I've heard a Dan Brown book being called such haha. Is that the one with the cryptography? Oh yeah, forgot about that.

My sister gave me this book 5 years ago, and it literally changed my life. His books are entertaining in a sense but can't understand how it changed your life? After reading this book, I've started to program my first encryption software based on hybrid cryptography, and after I finished that, I decided that I want to study computer science. Before that book I was completely undecided what should i study after high school. After that a lot of interesting things happend, and I really enjoy programming, and of course anything that is somehow connected to cryptography. Maybe the book got him into cryptography and hence into bitcoin.
Yeah, that's true.

I haven't read the latest one. Don't be in a rush to do so. Well, actually, just skip it. It's not worth your time. It's absolutely the worst of Dan Browns books (Inferno).

It's not terrible but it is my least favourite of his. It'll make a good film.

i just red einstein's biography.. he's one of the few heroes in history that have done questionable things, but man.. in reading his book, i felt like this man was not only a genius, but an awesome person. i kind of find inspiration from his personality.

Ok I'm up for movies then.Books cost money and time no doubt. Books cost money - true... Well for standard people watching movies cost too.. I know that we are in the world of p2p torrents etc. So maybe you heard about e-books? Or pdfs ? You can download a book for free too. Just maybe it is quite harder to find a book than a movie but! Still - you can make it no cost. But I must say I love to keep a book in my hands. Paper pages have something more inside than just "a book".

So true. Personally, I can't read on my phone or tablet - no 'soul'
