who is dabinchi?

In high school, the only thing I know about Leonardo da Vinci is his
controversial "Mona Lisa" portrait...until a book titled "da vinci code"
spread through word of mouth. Right away,it caught my interest. I went
to a bookstore to look for one and ended up holding a hardbound copy
with illustrations of his works as I scanned the pages. I ended up
leaving the bookstore empty handed though. It was expensive.$35. I wanted to
have the paperback copy but still, it's expensive. I was thinking,
everyone else has already read the book except me...Everybody at friendster
puts it as their favorite book..and I can't even talk about it even
here in my blog though I'm telling you now that I was craving to have that
book but I still don't have enough money to buy it. It would save me
ten bucks though if I get a membership card for just a single payment of
$25.not bad coz i would be using that for a lifetime and save a lot on
books.
I thought by this time I'm already sharing some excerpts from the book
because it really is something worthwhile to talk about.."What's with
Monalisa's smile?" What subliminal messages are there in the "The Last
Supper" etc etc...I wish I could get that book as soon as possible. I
would spend my salary for a day just to buy that book! geeshh.. i just
don't want to think about it anymore..hehe.. I'll just keep on telling
myself, "it's worth it..."
anyone who can share anything about that book, just post a comment
here..I would love to hear from all of you who read that book--make me
drool over "da vinci code"!!!! =)
