I thought it was "The Lost Symbol" or have they renamed it here?
I did enjoy the Da Vinci Code when I first read it, more as a preposterous adventure story for a bit of fun than anything else. Though the clever little bit at the beginning of the book has fooled far too many people into believing way too much of it, or at least giving the ideas way more credit than they deserve.
The Lost Symbol annoyed me more on that point because he did it again but then added in loads of really bad science and tech stuff. The Noetic science stuff is just nonsense, all that stuff about ancient wisdom and science only rediscovering things not discovering them is a load of balls which shouldn't annoy me but does. I guess the skeptical scientist in me just kicked in.
