WSJ, you read my mind

Tell me this isn't super odd.

Okay, I love Dan Brown and all of his books (That is NOT the odd part). And not just The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons, but also Digital Fortress and Deception Point too. Like many other tools, uh, I mean fans, I have been not-so-patiently awaiting the next Robert Langdon novel. The much anticpated follow up is two years overdue now, so every couple months I check Dan Brown's website and do a little searching to find out if there's a release date or title information or any updates whatsoever. So yesterday I decide it was time for a little DB update and I did some fruitless scouring, as no new details had surfaced.

THEN...I open the Wall Street Journal this morning (yeah, I'm smart like that) only to discover an enormous story on the front page of the Marketplace section devoted to the questions surrounding the whereabouts of Langdon's next adventure. WEIRD, no? Entitled "The Wait of the World's on Dan Brown," the article poses all the queries I myself have been wondering. It is accompanied by a humorous caricature sketch of Mr. Brown tackling his writer's block with a game of tic tac toe. Hopefully it's not writer's block, or fear of conquering the success of The Da Vinci Code, but just logistics or something like that (the article suggests he's waiting for a particular date that might pertain to the story line which revolves around the freemasonry tradition...hmm...) I would love to provide you (ha, you, the general public who check this blog every day) with a link to the article as I'm sure your breath, like mine, is bated, but the WSJ is snooty and the site is password protected. Lame.
