Actually, the premis of the Da Vinci Code (and Angels and Demons) was the reason I read it.
(Angels and Demons, btw, is a good example why I don't read translated to Dutch books: the title in Dutch (translated back to English) is The Bernini Mystery....)

That goes for me too. I liked them, just because they were easy to read (and I loved the fact that people actually believed what he wrote in the Da Vinci Code
)
