Da Vinci code link
I admit to having read Da Vinci code. It's not a bad detective-type novel and the puzzles were fun. I tried to look up some of the historical information which didn't smell quite right and sure enough it wasn't. There is a website with a lot of historical info available since the movie will be out soon with Tom Hanks. It's amazing to me that a work of fiction has caused such a storm, but I do remember that the book was strongly anti-Christian and virulently anti-Catholic. Also, the postmodern mind may have some trouble discriminating between story and truth.
