"
700 pages? is Dan Brown trying to kill me?*Check out progress updates for detailed commentary: (view spoiler) ...more "
progress:
(page 0 of 677)
"Notes:
(1) I just received my pre-order copy today! It arrived in perfect condition.
- My faith in Amazon fulfillment has been temporarily restored following the poor state of the last book I received by mail.
(2) I must say, "The Secret of Secrets" has to be the most Dan Brown title to ever Dan Brown.
- You'd almost think it was a parody.
(3) Nearly 700-pages? Is Dan Brown trying to kill me?

Notes:
(1) This lists Batman at 6'2" and 210 lbs. For some reason, I thought he was taller and heavier.
- I mean, Tim Drake, the next entry over, is listed at 6'0" and 198 lbs.
(2) It's explained how Beast Boy turned from red to green during the New 52 but not why, they only offer a guess.
- I appreciate it nonetheless. I'd never have thought the answer was in "Animal Man."" — Oct 13, 2024 02:00PM

Notes:
(1) "Betty Ford Elementary was the same school I'd attended."
- Ironic name, no? Betty Ford being synonymous with rehab.
- You know... in a town whose name means "Good Times," whose main business is a bar.
(2) "Around one o'clock, I decided to run into town for some groceries and a new bra…"
- Groceries and a bra? I'm guessing Wal-Mart?
- Later: Yep, Wal-Mart." — Dec 10, 2025 10:35PM

“No murderer had before or has since caused such a sensation, passed so quickly into folklore or gained an image – top hat, cape and Gladstone bag – that is truly iconic: as instantly recognisable as Sherlock Holmes's deerstalker and meerschaum pipe, and as capable of conveying a meaning understood around the world – even by people who know nothing about the Ripper or what he did, or that he, unlike Holmes, actually existed.”
