    My Bemz

    A couple years ago, I came across Bemz, a company that makes slip covers for a number of Ikea sofas and armchairs. Over the years I visited the Bemz site countless times and thought about ordering some covers to breathe new life into a couple of mismatched Ikea armchairs. I looked online for reviews and photos by people who had actually ordered the covers, but I mainly found write-ups by design blogs lauding Bemz’s concept and showing photos from the Bemz website.

    In spite of the dearth of real-life reviews, I recently decided to take the plunge and I placed an order. In an effort to offer some real-world reviews for any potential buyers, here are some photos, along with my impressions.

    Quick review: The Lost Symbol

    The Lost SymbolThe Lost Symbol
    Dan Brown

    (2.5/5)

    Passably enjoyable. Formulaic. Second half completely predictable. Not sure why author needed six years to do research.

    Better than Angels and Demons (I think, but maybe I am letting my memory of the book be tainted by my memory of the film). Not as good as The Da Vinci Code.

    Nonetheless, I do like this genre and so based on some research, I am going to read The Club Dumas next (in English because I am totally lame), and then take another stab at Foucault’s Pendulum.  Who knows maybe I’ll even re-read The Baroque Cycle.  Or not.
