Regarding The Da Vinci Code, I had already read a conspiracy “non-fiction” book called The Templar Revelation that posited the idea of Jesus having living descendants when the Dan Brown novel came out, and I thought “well I’ve already read that, haven’t I?”
I read it after reading The Holy Blood and The Holy Grail, which was a much more compelling fiction. I also read Focault’s Pendulum around the same time, and what a ride that was.
