- A brainiac professor who gets to travel the world with a different brainy hottie every book. What's not to get? -- nm - con_carne Sep 17, 19:23
- There's lots of stuff I won't praise unreservedly. Not everything needs to be perfect in this world. - TFox Sep 17, 19:05 2
  - And the other answer is: reading is so often a private endeavor, there is always an appeal to reading something that can be discussed. Widely. -- nm - TFox Sep 17, 19:07 1
    - Certainly. But people don't have to pick a shitty book. -- nm - Reagen Sep 17, 19:09
- all you people who responded to this thread are just perpetuating the madness! -- nm - Max Sep 17, 18:57 4
  - you could make some mad money giving tours to people who buy the new book, showing them all the sites around DC - farmer ted Sep 17, 18:59 3
    - it's part of the Max Hotel Platinum Package. -- nm - Max Sep 17, 19:03 2
      - Do the Max Interns work at the Hotel? -- nm - Remlik Sep 17, 19:19 1
        
        well "work" can encompass so many things . . . -- nm - farmer ted Sep 17, 19:22
- to be blunt, you clearly hang around with people who are smarter than average. -- nm - loosilu Sep 17, 18:57
- He's a great storyteller but a horrible writer. -- nm - Dano Sep 17, 18:56 1
  - Reading The Da Vinci Code was a constant process of "this book sucks, I can't wait to see what happens next" for me. -- nm - Dano Sep 17, 19:01
- The literature equivalent of Two and a Half Men -- nm - Mop Sep 17, 18:56 1
  - The Mona Lisa isn't that attractive. -- nm - BB Sep 17, 19:07
- One reason I don't read him is I figure enough people already do, so I don't need to. -- nm - the liioulu with extra jacket Sep 17, 18:54 2
  - "oh, i don't watch TV" -- nm - farmer ted Sep 17, 18:55 1
    - I do watch TV. And I read slish. Just prefer to spend my time with writers that actually care about what they write. -- nm - the liioulu with extra jacket Sep 17, 18:57
- I thought The Da Vinci Code was a book of tremendous ideas. I enjoyed it a lot. -- nm - David Sep 17, 18:51 23
  - ripped off a number of other people. Also suffers from Oliver Stone syndrome -- take an idea and present it as fact. -- nm - loosilu Sep 17, 18:58 20
    - ...in a novel. which is fiction. -- nm - TFox Sep 17, 19:06 3
      - but he includes a note at the beginning saying that all the history in the book is fact, which is a lie. -- nm - loosilu Sep 17, 19:30 2
        
        you were there? -- nm - Beaker Sep 17, 19:32 1
        
        it's been widely debunked. -- nm - loosilu Sep 17, 19:33
    - I didn't have a problem with any of his ideas being expressly derivative. Meanwhile, National Treasure ripped him off to a The Mentalist degree. -- nm - David Sep 17, 19:00 15
      - James Rollins "Map of Bones" was a much better book covering similar themes...and I liked Da Vinci. Not great, but decent read. -- nm - Remlik Sep 17, 19:07 11
        
        It came out two years later, so it's in the National Treasure grouping of imitators. -- nm - David Sep 17, 19:11 10
        
        without knowing anything about these books, I don't have a problem with imitation if the thought process is - Reagen Sep 17, 19:17 8
        
        Yes, I generally agree with that. I often wonder if Joss Whedon looks at Twilight fans and wonders, "Where the fuck were you at the start of the 2000s - David Sep 17, 19:18 7
        
        Him and the Moonlight people as well. But Whedon did get 7 years of one and 5 years of another so he had a good run. -- nm - Remlik Sep 17, 19:20 6
        
        Relatively speaking, Whedon's success is a 100 yard dash while she's ran all the way around the world. Twice. -- nm - David Sep 17, 19:21 5
        
        true. very true. I wonder if all of this stuff has made Gellar or Boreanz think about the movie possibilites. -- nm - Remlik Sep 17, 19:22 4
        
        It wouldn't sell. For whatever reason, the insipid version is more universal. -- nm - David Sep 17, 19:29 1
        
        (Much like The Beatles and Star Wars.) - David Sep 17, 19:30
        
        I think Boreanaz has reached the point of not being able to look like he's not aging. - Reagen Sep 17, 19:26 1
        
        true. -- nm - Remlik Sep 17, 19:29
        
        good point. -- nm - Remlik Sep 17, 19:16
      - From what I can tell, National Treasure owns its ridiculousness. -- nm - Reagen Sep 17, 19:03 2
        
        Relatedly, I saw a magazine ad the other day for a book that was so clearly trying to be Da Vinci Code meets Twilight. - David Sep 17, 19:06 1
        
        I saw my first ad for The Vampire Diaries tonight. Was the thought process "Hey, I'm a shitty writer, and I like vampires too!" -- nm - Reagen Sep 17, 19:07
  - same, I really enjoyed it. all his books have great ideas but unfortunately by the fourth book the set ups were all too familiar. -- nm - zork Sep 17, 18:57
