Hi Tolu. Er...Please take your time to kindly explain to me why obviously diametric Books by Msrs. Dan Brown and God Jehova are placed beside each other!?
I am not trying to insinuate anything by placing the books beside each other. I admire Dan Brown for his writing skills and I am a christian. I chose to have Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code on my shelf because it is a classic novel, though it has also become controversial. Cheers.
