Have any of you read The DaVinci Code?

If so, do you think that I would like it?

I listened to the audiobook and enjoyed it. If you like conspiracy theories written around religious symbols/history, you would enjoy it.

Yes and yes. It's beautuflly written.

I got about two paragraphs into it and threw it across the room in disgust. The writing style is dreadful, and the "conspiracy" is weak if you already know more than an ounce about the Divine Feminine and the history of the Church's repression of feminine imagery.

But that's my $0.02. I think you'll be bored with it at the very least, since you have more theological education than the average bear.

If it were me, I'd skip that one and read Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco instead. Same general plotline, infinitely better writing. ;)

I liked it and want to check out the Pendulum book.

you might. it's a real page-turner. but i personally think it's sexist and full of historical errors, which i wouldn't mind so much in a novel except it insists that they're factual in the preface.
