That's called extreme bashing. Even I can encounter his bash with another one.
For god sake, the novel was not a "lecture" on cryptography; it was a novel goddamit.
And calling it crap was like...(no words).

Each to his own I guess.
But I was unable to buy all the stuff that was going on. Suspension of disbelief worked in his other novels such as Angels and Demons and Da Vinci Code. Here, not so much.

Mythology of India.
Myths and Legends of India, Tibet and Sri Lanka.
by Rachel Storm
Glossary - Dictionary of all mythical things in the sub continent. Each entry gives a historical time line of the beliefs associated. It traces beliefs in time and space. Indians seem to accept and believe a wide spectrum of often conflicting gods, philosophies and ideas about how the world works. then a lot of these myths and beliefs spread all the way to china, japan, asia pacific and beyond. It's a no-nonsense approach and a fresh perspective. It's also small, and has images.

It's a great high fiction series.
I stopped reading it because the show mirrors the books, sometimes to every single dialogue. Reading ahead of the show would have spoiled it, so I stopped. I recommend you see the show. Its awesome, although maybe not with family, as it contains too many filler sexual scenes.

"1984" by George Orwell.
He wrote of a controlling regime which was quite similar to modern day North Korea, with the rulers dictating the reality and even history (by rewriting the books,) or if you are in a hurry, watch it's summary on Thug Notes. Google it. It's a must watch.

Ideas are Bulletproof
yes it is.
there are some details that are difference in the book than the tv show.
plus scenes/plots/story are more detailed in the book(you'll know more of the background story).
Give it a read, you'll love it.

The Narrator was the murderer himself. I felt a bit cheated but there are no limits in the fictional world.
