To those that read The Lost Symbol, can you see Keith David playing Warren Bellamy in the movie? The guy that is reading the audiobook sounds just like him.

Re: What are you reading? (February 2010)
I've read about 100 pages of 370 so far. I don't want to say too much about it, but if you think you're even a little bit interested in this one, I'd say give it a shot. I'm looking forward to picking it up again this evening.

I'm looking forward towards seeing Craig McDonald at a book signing in March at Foul Play books in Westerville, Ohio (McDonald lives in my hometown - Columbus, Ohio).

If I even get time this week to start it with all the hoopla that has been happening at work:

I did that with the last Harry Potter book. I restarted it like 4 times, after about 500 pages each time. I just finished it late last year. Somehow, I avoided spoilers that whole time.

I saw it recommended a couple of places and grabbed the sample and got sucked in. Goofy title or no it's pretty good so far if you like post-apocalypse stuff.

I was going to start Level 26, but after reading a number of negative reviews on Amazon, I am having second thoughts. For those that have read it, what were your thoughts?

Average at best. I had high expectations going in and was let down. The 'digi-book' aspect wasn't all that effective either.

Re: What are you reading? (February 2010)
I agree entirely. I was really excited for the book and the idea of a digi-book. It was waaaaay more graphic and kind of torture-porn than i expected it to be. Also, the process of checking out the videos became a bigger pain than a benefit and i stopped caring because i would be reading the book out somewhere and come to the code for the video in the middle of a chapter. This meant i either had to record the code somewhere or mark the page to check out when i got home. Then i would keep reading and run into another code. At one point i had like 5 codes written on a piece of paper and just gave up on the watching the videos.
