Whoah.

I'm reading The Da Vinci Code, and I am utterly enthralled, captivated and awed by it.

I've read 135 pages of it and I've only read for maybe an hour and a half so far. (I took time to watch Sex and the City -- and dude, Bradley Cooper [Will on Alias] was in one of the eps I saw! How freaky to see him with long, shaggy hair. Longer and shaggier than Will's hair!)

Wow, wow. I have no idea why I waited so long to read this.

Although, reading it at night is freaking me the hell out, because I don't do scary/mysterious things at night. I can't. I get nightmares. The only way I'll watch a scary movie is in broad daylight, the only way I'll read a mystery is during the day. Unless it's SO UTTERLY COMPELLING, I can't put the damn thing down. Like now. Wow.

ETA: AUGH!

I just read two more pages and I have to put the damn thing down, 'cause it's FREAKING ME OUT EVEN MORE.

<whimper> Mommy.

Holy crap.

I had no IDEA it was 6:30 in the morning. I went back to reading around 4:30, and am now on page 310.

I am totally sucked in and loving it. Creepy, but less creepy than it was, and yay for that.

Also, it's daylight. So that makes a difference.

This is good stuff.

(Edited five minutes later to say the following)

Right, remember how I said it was less creepy?

I was totally, totally wrong.

HAHAHA.

I've spent something like seven, maybe eight hours reading this damn book, and for the first time, just now, I figured something out before it was actually revealed.

Go me!

(and then the phone rang, so I'm only now posting.)
