Just finished listening to the audio book version of the DaVinci Code. I really liked the information that he presents in the books and it has inspired a whole avenue of research for me. However, the plot, though compelling, was pretty formulaic. Reminded me a lot of Michael Crichton: pulpy sort of action plot to keep you reading, meshed with a lot of information about scientific/social/philosophical issues. I did really enjoy it, but I class it with "quick fiction", something fun and inspiring to read between more formidable books.
