I spent the last year writing a book about the ridiculous demands of what it means to be masculine. But a guy who takes care of people who served our country, asks a woman “are you ok?” When she is in distress and looks out for his vulnerable neighbors seems like a pretty good role model for a man.

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

Robert Langdon is shaken to his core, by the strangest thing he’s ever seen: indoor skydiving. When the skydiver gives him a thumbs up, our dude can’t believe it. Doesn’t she realize that it’s an ancient fertility gesture?

Robdan Browndon's jaw, for the second time in this book (it is the first twenty or so pages) is on the floor. Is the secret of this novel that Dan Brown is Angel, Demon, Both? Time will tell, and it will tell it funny.

Robert Langdon is like, the smartest dude around, so when the super important futuristic jet is going to take him in an hour to Geneva, he nods and says "Yes. New York." "No," the pilot tells him, "Switzerland."

In my first reading sessions, I've already learned that Robert Langdon lives in a cool-ass house, drives a cool-ass car (but is he as cool as Dan Brown? Yes? Yes!). I mean, his college students love him and call him "The Dolphin." Not for horrible reasons, but because he swims all the damn time.

I’d always heard people didn’t like Kamelion and wondered why. I finally viewed his first appearance and had a visceral reaction of disgust. Holy uncanny valley. Why is his head so small? Why does he have nipples? What’s going on with his eyes?

But he moves wildly, lifting and windmilling arms high, performing little pantomimes and pointing to things that seem ritual devoid of meaning, or perhaps only instilled with meaning to the performer himself. Dark and absurdly goofy non sequiturs. Secret greatest frontman.

He wails in a high-pitched voice that seems absolutely incongruous from the bull of a silhouette Thomas casts, at times like the percussive phhhhht of air escaping from a balloon.
