A book inspires me most The book which inspires me most is The Da Vinci Code. It is widely recommended and best sold all over the world in these two years, which has sold about seven million five hundered thouthand copies. Why I wanted to first borrow it for reading is that it was the book I oftenest hear of at that time. I borrowed this book from one of my classmate and read it an year ago, and found that it's one of the best book that I have ever read. This book really impressed me a lot and didn't fall short of my expectations after I finished reading it. Why I feel this is the book which inspires me most is for its exqisite but complicated plot in the whole story, which is really absorbing and can make readers hold on reading it without suspension. Besides, the profundity of religious meanings really stirs up my curiosity in this matter. The following is a brief introduction about the full text of The Da Vinci code. A semiology professor, Robert Langdon, suddenly received a message about that the president of Louvre was assassinated when he was during his errand in Paris. He left a bewildering code nearby the corpse of him just before his death. When Langdon and and a French expert in crptography Sophie Neveu were in the course of deliberating on a mass of riddles, they amazingly found out that there were a series of clues behind Da Vinci's works. At that time, they realized that they were in the pursuit of a big religious and historical secret buried underground for centuries. Unless they could solve the complex mass of riddles, the explosive ancient truth would disappear forever (This paragraph is my translation from www.cinema.com.hk/revamp/html/ list_detail.php?lang=c&movie_id=2400). After reading the book, I felt really charmed by the plot of it. Although I can't really catch the religious meanings because I have little background knowledges in Catholicism, Christianity, western history of relogion, and the like, I can still catch the chief point of this masterpiece. There is no religions which have transcendent doctrines in the world, and the fundamental of history is only based on the spiritual, mental, and intellectual creations of humans. In the entire story, the author tries to leads us to the core of what he wants to convey; the authenticity of religious doctrines are insignificant, and their pursuit of some concrete holy things is endless, which are not what really counts. The movie of Da Vinci code is strongly advertised all over the world recently, and I think that box-office receipt will be very good. --
