Weekend reading

What was The News Book Club reading a year ago?

  Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code" was the April 2006 selection, timed for the release of the movie.

  It's not my favorite book - not by a long shot.

   Is it yours? Can someone please explain to me why people love this novel so much?  Yeah, the story is interesting. But does anyone really think Brown is a good writer?

Not my favorite. I actually read most of his books. Maybe not the best writer but not bad either...by a long shot. I guess it all comes down to what you are looking for, entertainment or intellectual stimulation. I sit down w a book like that w the impression that I am going to be entertained...period, I don't look for anything more.
