Wife's name has been corrected.

[edit] shape

The article reads like a well written print media article, so I re-arranged the contents to be more encyclopedic.Julia Rossi 23:09, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Novel

To say that woods wrote "an autobiographical novel about his father" might not be quite accurate. He grew up in a religious family and embraced atheism as a young man, but as far as I know, there's no evidence that he's a compulsive liar, or that he he frittered away many years working on an unfinished thesis. Nor is the book "about his father" or the character's father per se...its about the roughly Woods-like character Thomas. I think I'll change it to just "novel".

Something is wrong with the page, as on my computer it says that he is married to Dan Brown [with link], but on the edit page his wife's name is what appears.
