Yes! Dan Brown! I thinks it's time to read / listen to El código da Vinci again.

Why not read it (or listen to it) in another language the next time?

The simple answer is that I'm thinking of Spanish as my listening language for next year, and I have access to the book/audio book in Spanish. But of course, if anyone can provide me with a free and legal copy of it in Portuguese, then I might consider that as my language for 2023.

End of year. I'm too lazy to sum everything up, but I keep statistics of my SuperChallenge progress, so here we go:

French books: 85
French films: 4
Italian books: 40
Italian films: 102

I doubt that I will finish 2 full challenges, but I feel optimistic regarding a double challenge in the Romance family.
125/200 books and 106/200 films after 8/20 months.

"Yes!" in a positive way. Regular readers of my log would know I'm a big fan of his works.
