Millions of air travellers are rejoicing today that the follow-up to The Da Vinci Code - the book they bought in their droves a few years ago to help pass the time in airport lounges and in the air - was finally released today.
Apparently it is about the FreeMason organization and promises to lay bare for the whole world to see that notoriously secret-handshaking-and-apron-wearing society and their bizarre rituals/political scheming for once and for all.
I don't expect it to be a literary masterpiece, spur my understanding of existence or drive me to ever greater creative endeavours in my own right. But, just like everyone else who has ordered it from Amazon.com to make sure they have it on release day, I do want to be seen reading it on the plane next week and illicit the knowing winks and nods from my fellow travelers as we pretend to be part of a secret society all of our own.
I won't, however, be partaking in any form of secret handshaking with them. That, of course, is how Swine Flu gets spread.
