Cleveland Public Library

Last Saturday, I went with my parents to the Cleveland Public Library(CPL). Its a huge library, with two buildings and stuffed with books, CDs, DVDs, movies, etc. The first time I went to CPL was to do research for a research paper I was assigned in school. Ever since then, I get all my reading materials from CPL. If you live in the Cleveland area, Cuyahoga County, or Media County, you should definately go to http://www.cpl.org, the library's web page. You will find thousands of books, movies, CDs, anything. And if you find anything interesting, you can always put it on hold and pick it up at a library near you.

I live in Cuyahoga County, and if I am bored or need good books, I go 15 miles north to CPL. Its better than my county's library. I found many old and new movies and songs. There are books in almost a hundred languages, and they have an externsive software collection. I know I am getting too much into this, but going to CPL is much better than going to the mall or Best Buy.

Band of Brothers (TV show)

Recently, I watched all ten episodes of the Band of Brothers. It first aired on HBO in 2001, and is available on DVD and VHS. It tells the heroic and brave story of Easy Comany, from the 506th paratrooper regiment. It begins with the regiment's training and ends when Easy Company captures Hitler's Eagles Nest.

Very dramatic and moving, it brings awe that soldiers had the courage to risk their lives for their country. Band of Brothers was produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg. Most of the events in the series is accurate because the veterans from the 506th were interviewed prior to filming. Band of Brothers contains amazing scenes and has awesome CGIs.

My rating for Band of Brothers would be a 9.5 out of 10. Too much cursing and blood/gore. Nice story, though.

Book Review: The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown

The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown is probably the best written book I have read in the past few years. Thrilling, suspenseful, and also very informative, it captures the readers' attentions. I got the book from the library yesterday, and it was really hard to put down the book. The plot winds through many twists and turns, and the many brainteasers and puzzles boggled my mind. For anyone interested in the topics of the Holy Grail, puzzles, and secrets encoded in paintings, this would be a good read.

I rate the DaVinci code a 9 out of 10.
