The Da Vinci Job

Oh man! I just checked back on the cast list for The Da Vinci Job Code, and Paul Bettany has been cast as Silas the albino killer monk!

Can't wait to see him act this bit:
"Andorra, he thought feeling his muscles tighten. Incredibly, it was in that barren and forsaken suzerain between Spain and France, shivering in his stone cell, wanting only to die, that Silas had been saved."

That's made my morning, that has. Ah, Andorra! Why did I ever leave?

But but but - I thought Cornwell was acceptable? I've read one book out of his Arthurian trilogy and liked it very much indeed. Has he committed crimes against literature otherwise?

The Da Vinci code is inspiring me to fic. I have this plotbunny in which a modern day Milton, the Cleverest Man In The World, reads it - and goes blind.

You just made me spit my lunch on my monitor. No cookie!

Oh, the Arthurian Cornwell is good. Much better than Marion Zimmer Bradley or Stephen Lawhead, IMHO.

Oh yes, he has! (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0006510426/qid=1119016049/sr=1-11/ref=sr_1_2_11/202-9679939-3036608) :D

No worries - I'm enjoying reading it!
