Not a lot more to read of The Da Vinci Code so this will be next. Thanks again. Viktoria.

I've read the DaVinci Code three times  Couldn't put it down...read it in one afternoon    I've just finished reading Angels and Demons, second time, and again read it in one afternoon    Going to see the film next week....can't wait     DaVinci Code DVD has been watched many times. Funny thing is, although I know the story I still enjoy it and get something new from it every time  I've also pre-ordered Dan Brown's new book due out in September...Robert Langdon is back so should be another good read.....can you tell I like his books

Just had a quick look at what I posted on the books thread and realised I said I'd read Angels and Demons three times, when in fact I've only read it twice    Confusing it with DaVinci Code I think 
However I did enjoy them both  as I said....and that's the absolute truth

Have not had this in English lines, but have in one of my Scottish lines, twice in one family.

One of them, the elder girl did not die as had been expected, and so they ended up with two Catherines, although the second one was called Kate afterwards to distinguish between the two. There was 22 years between them and the elder one was married and having kids of her own, and was not expected to survive one particular birth. She did survive and went on to have about 12 more after that, living until she was nearly 90. The second Catherine was also 90 when she died.

The other one was in the same family. One son Thomas had died aged 26 days in 1839 in Scotland before the family left. The next child born on the ship in the North Atlantic somewhere in 1840 was a son and was given the name Thomas. The second Thomas lived to 75.
