Of Note...

Reading Group Guide - Some discussion questions:

  • As a symbologist, Robert Langdon has a wealth of academic knowledge that helps him view the world in a unique way. Now that you've read The Da Vinci Code, are there any aspects of life/history/faith that you are seeing in a different light?

  • Would you rather live in a world without religion…or a world without science?

  • Has this book changed your ideas about faith, religion, or history in any way?

  • Other than his fear of being framed for murder, what motivates Langdon to follow this perilous quest? Do his motivations change?

From the book jacket:

While in Paris on business, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon receives an urgent late-night phone call: the elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum. Near the body, police have found a baffling cipher. Solving the enigmatic riddle, Langdon is stunned to discover it leads to a trail of clues hidden in the works of Da Vinci…clues visible for all to see…and yet ingeniously disguised by the painter.
