	Wiffleball Rule Book
		I was four years old and my dad took me out in the backyard and showed me how to hold the bat and explained that he was going to throw the ball to me and I should try to swing the bat and "make contact." I hit his first pitch over the neighbor’s house.
		I would also like to point out that, although these rules are tailored for a specific stadium, their intent and spirit can be adapted to fields having different configurations.
		A batted ball which passes downward through any of four basketball hoops that are in fair territory, and which impacts the ground without being caught by a fielder, is an automatic Grand Slam through the Hoop, scoring four runs in addition to the runners that are already on base.

	Book Review - The Rule of Four by Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason
		The Rule of Four is set at Princeton in the spring of 1999, not just the cusp of a new millennium, but the cusp of graduation and adulthood for the four seniors who are the main characters.
		Over 500 years ago, the author of the ancient book struggled with life and death decisions in his attempt to save what was precious to him from a zealot who threatened to destroy it all.
		At times the four roommates act in stereotypical ways and the drama between them can be seen so far in advance that it loses the suspense of the moment.

		For the last year or so THE DA VINCI CODE has been the big buzz book in the book biz, and for good reason: it was a riveting thriller, chock full of interesting historical and biblical facts (and fiction) that left the reader with unanswerable, unshakable questions regarding Christianity and art history.
		It was (is) one of those books that stays with you for a long time and sparks many a great conversation amongst Dan Brown disciples (not to mention the raging debate that followed among theologians and historians).

		I also think Patterson had quite a task having Alex be NEW at the FBI, have the book be realistic about what tasks he'd have, and still have him be "the man." I did really like the premise of a chat room where The Evil Ones gather to talk about their dastardly deeds.
		They started writing Rule of Four in 1998, and I have no idea how long it took them to finish and sell it, so it sounds like they took a few years to write the book.
		You know, the book was titled so appropriately, because Nice was, well, Nice… Nice is the story of a woman who, unable to break up with men, kills them instead and in the process of her murderous love-life hooks up with a true, professional hit man and falls in love.

	Steven Wu's Book Reviews: Rule of Four, The (Ian Caldwell)
		Unfortunately, while The Rule of Four is in many ways a superior novel to The Da Vinci Code, it also surprisingly falls short--mostly because the authors try to hard to distinguish their book from the pulp frothiness of Brown.
		Two of the four Princeton students at the heart of the book are almost done cracking the maddeningly mysterious book known as the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili.
		But strange things begin happening to others who had been involved with the book, and these two students--along with two of their closest friends, making up the fantastic four of the title--work against the clock to solve the final mystery before they are caught.

		The Rule of Four (Dial Press; $24) by Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason is a dizzyingly intelligent mystery that has a real life encoded 15th century rare text, Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, at it’s core.
		The Rule of Four is not a simple read – there is an immense amount of information packed into its tight 384 pages – but it is a compulsive one.
		I was inspired to read The Rule of Four, the first novel of two recent college grads Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason, by a review from a bookseller's website As Yet Unpublished.

		The stories behind The Rule of Four and The DaVinci Code are based on secret codes hidden in old texts and works of art, but that’s pretty much where the similarities end.

		This book isn't bad, don't be put off by the negative comments here; decide for yourself, but read it at face value; not in comparison to other work and don't expect it (in common with all other books) to do what it says on the tin!
		The last but perhaps most important point is the research that dwells behind this magnum opus as the subject of the book (a book itself, the Hypnerotomachia Poliophili, only recently translated) really exists but is so little understood.
		But the final conclusion is not the books only purpose as the one to share the special bond of friendship between four students and how their last years at university changes their lives forever.

		While this tale is also a present-day mystery centered around a historical document/investigation, The Rule of Four has none of the enticing (and maddening) depth of Eco’s The Name of the Rose or Foucault’s Pendulum.
		It builds in richness through the first half of the book, mixing story-telling and inventive use of history… but then the rest of the book drove me nuts, because the story dribbled out.
		The Rule of Four is much more about the story, which is why it’s a quick read.
