| Semper fidelis  |  The Lost Symbol So , who has went out and bought a copy of Dan Brown's new novel " The Lost Symbol" ?I was going to until I noticed Bentley Little released a new novel and I do love my horror so Bentley won out . Let me know what everyone thinks and I may go out and pick up a copy . On a side note , do you think that it will bring in a flood of petitions like it did when the "National Treasure" and the "Da Vinci Code" movies had ?

 | I am so backed up on my reading, I do not think I need to buy anything for a year. I'm in the middle of this wonderful book. Amazon.com: Let it Rot!: The Gardener's Guide to Composting (Third Edition) (Storey's Down-to-Earth Guides) (9781580170239): Stu Campbell: Books I have about two or three other composting books to go through, a few on Florida gardens, two on lawns in Florida. Then someone get ranting an raving about Amazon.com: A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, Book 1) (9780553381689): George R.R. Martin: Books so I bought that trilogy. I would like to add The Lost Symbol to my list though.

| I'm about a third through the book and so far its all very positive towards masonry. If it goes on like this I see a surge of petitioners, more so when the movie gets made. |

|  Brethren, I just sat the book down after completing it. I got it Friday night, and read it over the weekend. I must say that I find it quite stimulating. It was a good old fashioned thriller. I do not feel that it will be received negatively by our fraternity. Of course, there are always dissenting brothers. That's one of the beauties of our craft. If anything, I feel that it paints us as a noble keeper of certain powerful secrets, waiting for the proper time to be revealed. Read it and enjoy it.

| I picked up a copy, but only got a chance to read the first chapter. Hopefully this weekend I will get some time.

| I've got 3 other books to read, I saw it at a book store last weekend, and contemplated getting it, I suppose after I finish the ones that I already bought, maybe I might get it to read.

| I read it. It was not as good as the DC but all in all OK. The sad thing was that my wife and I were reading it together so I had to stop to explain the mixing of the rituals. If it gets people talking then great.  |

| Semper fidelis | Very true , I have had a few people who have read it start asking me questions about Freemasonry who never asked before . What did your wife think about it ? And has she read any other books about Freemasonry , or is she just a D. Brown fan ? Oh, and by the way drelle , welcome to Freemason Hall . Glad to see you jumping into the conversations .
