and another thing

I know it's pointless to carp on this book, but I couldn't help thinking during the stupid "men have ritual sex with women so that the men get a direct line to god" speech in Davinci Code, well, what do the women do? and why do the women care - if they are so in fucking touch with god, why do they bother to play telephone line (telephone hole?) for the men? Very stupid. "Intercourse was the revered union of the two halves of the human spirit - male and female - through which the male could find spiritual wholeness and communion with God." Oh please, what crap!

It is beginning to drive me crazy - the thought that anyone would think that they just learned something profound from this book... a bit like the horribleness of the book "J0nathan L1vingston Seagull" which is one of my most hated books ever.
