Teeny, I would suggest Umberto Eco's 'Foucault's Pendulum.' Excellent read, on basically the same premise as 'The DaVinci Code,' but so much more plausible and better written (and I did enjoy the DaVinci Code, but had a hard time starting it and accepting the premise that a dying man had enough time and wits to plant the myriad of clues...but I did enjoy it. Weak ending though.)

Thanks, I'll look it up.

There were little bits in DVC that I found interesting, but on the whole, the story between the man and the woman really had me cringing.

DVC had gotten such rave reviews, and I had heard from so many people what a great book it was, important even (I know know those people are insane).

I was just expecting a great work of art, when in reality it's just a silly little book.
