Advantages: Great story, interesting Disadvantages: Is it true??
The Da Vinci Code is probably one of the most controversial books of the modern day. When it was released it caused a storm. The Da Vinci code was released in 2003.It was written by Dan Brown and was an international bestseller.The book has sold 80 million copies as of 2009 and has been translated into 44 language. Most people, I know me included always thought this was his first novel. However, his first novel was actually Angels and Demons which was released in 2000. I've read the book and really really enjoyed it. It's one of those books that I think keeps you mesmerised from beginning to end. I found it hard to put down. Of course, the subject matter is very controversial and although it is meant to be somewhat fictional I can see elements of truth in it.
The basic story features Robert Langdon, a professor of Symbology. He is ...
and for Alice himself, DaDa was neither the final album he wrote nor was it representative of his general talent. Equally fortunately, this down period in Cooper's life did not last - by mid-1984, he had solved his marital problems and by 1986 he returned to the music scene with more "normal" albums, such as "Constrictor" and with his successful "The Nightmare Returns" tour.
Although one can hardly call this album a "hit album", it is nonetheless an album that should find its way into any Alice Cooper's fan collection and should be listened to by anyone who considers themselves a music expert, as it does have some historical value. Unlike most of Alice's albums, this one hardly contains any songs that could be classified as "rock music". Instead, the entire album is very electronic and new age.

Advantages: Might learn something about Buddhism Disadvantages: Written in dialect, hard to read
I bought this book a couple of months ago after reading a positive review in a magazine. However, there was something slightly important that the review left out. But first;
'Buddha Da tells the endearing story of a working-class Glaswegian man who discovers Buddhism, rejects old habits and seeks a life more meaningful, only to alienate his immediate family in the process'
So all sounds good, I was interested in this because I recently studied the Dalai Lama and found Buddhism and everything surrounding the DL fascinating. The book arrived, nice looking cover, 344 pages so not too long, then I read the first page.
Now, I read A LOT - but this totally threw me. The book is written in Galswegian dialect, here's an example;
"He'd dae anythin for a laugh so he wid; went doon the shops wi a perra knickers on his heid, tellt ...

Manufacturer's product description
The restaurant is located in a forgotten section of Tuscany called Maremma, a 40-minute drive southeast of the coastal city of Grosseto, next to the Saturnia hot springs. But its well worth the effort. There's a relaxed, country atmosphere to this smali family restaurant located in the medieval village of Montemerano. Just walking into the warm, cozy dining room with its wooden beams and fireplaces makes you feel at home. Owner Maurizio Menichetti takes care of the service and the wine cellar. His wife, Valeria Piccini, is in charge of the kitchen.
