If You Liked The Da Vinci Code, What Other Books Did You Like? email this discussion to a friend?

I loved this book and haven't really read many others like it. I don't normally like fiction, but I do like fiction somewhat based on history. I'd like it even more if I could find a true story that's got twists and turns and is well written.

What else would you recommend if you liked this book?

I read "Nineteen Minutes" by Jodi Picoult fairly recently and enjoyed that one. It has a lot of twists and turns to it and is also fairly long. Although, I don't have any requirement that audiobooks be long. Sometimes that gets annoying if they're just too long. But despite being 18 CDs long, 19 minutes was really well written and kept me fascinated the entire time. Sort of like Da Vinci Code did.

I just loved the book. Facts and fiction are beautifully complied and presented in a such a manner that we are made to feel that it's a truth! There in lies the beauty of the book.

I just finished reading THE DILBERT FUTURE by Scott Adams.He has done a brilliant job in mixing farce and wit and through humor has successfully penned down most scary future of man kind. Its a fun read.

I would like to read Nineteen Minutes. Thanks.

Oh I will definitely look for that one! I love Dilbert. Thanks for the recommendation, I hadn't heard of that one before, I'll look for it.

I know this is an old book, and probably many of you read in school but I just like reading Margaret Atwoods "THe Handsmaid Tale," its so grim and I can definately see aspects of it occuring it and its like a reminder to me and Im about womens personal rights and I just would never want that for my children.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Pigglies (3930)   ranked 59 out of 180 in the da vinci code  5 months ago

I did read that one, not in school, just on my own. I agree, it is an excellent read and if I remember correctly, it wasn't very long either.

Excellent recommendation.

If you enjoyed The Da Vinci Code, you will really like Angels and Demons. It is also by Dan Brown, has a fascinating storyline and, in my opinion, is even better than The Da Vinci Code. It features Robert Langdon on another exciting trail.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Pigglies (3930)   ranked 59 out of 180 in the da vinci code  5 months ago

Thanks! I will read that one then. I hadn't really heard anything about his other books before.

I also listened to Da Vinci Code. Now, I knew it was fiction, and I am far and away more upset that all these people seem to take it as truth, then the actual story bothered me.

Do you listen to Audio books? http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Zounds_group/


myLot reputation of 95/100. Pigglies (3930)   ranked 59 out of 180 in the da vinci code  5 months ago

I love listening to audio books. I always hated reading before due to visual problems, but now that I read on audio I love it. I will check out that group.

there is a book by an italian writer but that is known worldwide due to a movie from it where Sean Connery starred, that you might try...granted that i did not read Da Vinci Code, still i think this one might interest you... it is called The name of the Rose, by Umberto Eco...it is a mystery novel set in the middle ages and with a detective-monk as protagonist...you might watch the movie first but that would ruin the surprise:p


myLot reputation of 95/100. Pigglies (3930)   ranked 59 out of 180 in the da vinci code  5 months ago

Thanks! That does sound interesting. I'll search for the book. If I can't find it on audio, maybe I will have to search for the movie.:)

If you really like non-fiction, why don't you look for Holy Blood, Holy Grail. That is where The Da Vinci Code was based. You will also realize that Dan Brown didn't really need a lot of effort to write his book. Holy Blood is more interesting reading. Just be careful, its full of forced hypotheses. It would be better if you also read commentaries on this book, the serious scholarly ones, to gain a more rounded perspective.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Pigglies (3930)   ranked 59 out of 180 in the da vinci code  5 months ago

I have wanted to read that one. And I think I saw it on audio somewhere too if I remember correctly, I'll have to get it.

Don't worry, I tend to take all this kind of stuff with a grain of salt. I'm at atheist so I'm not too rattled by the religious stuff, just interested by it.

If you read DVC, I also recommend you to read "Angels & Demons" also by Dan Brown. For me it is better than the DVC. It's an excellent novel on Science & Religion. You must read it. If you want I can give you the E-Book. However, the format is not that nice. I have the E-Books of his other Books, Deception Point and Digital Fortress, still to be read.
I normally like fictions. The most important thing what I would think we should get from a book is the "Moral of Story". That's why I like Harry Potter also even though it is a complete imagination.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Pigglies (3930)   ranked 59 out of 180 in the da vinci code  5 months ago

What's the format of the e-books? I have an e-book reader that will read .txt files to me, and I like books in that format because it helps me to improve my reading skills. I would really appreciate having the e-books if it's some format that I could open and be able to read with some program I have. Thanks!


myLot reputation of 73/100. shamikabsb (366)  5 months ago

It's in PDF format. You only need the Acrobat Reader which is available in any PC.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Pigglies (3930)   ranked 59 out of 180 in the da vinci code  5 months ago

Oh that would be great if you could send it to me. Thanks in advance!


myLot reputation of 73/100. shamikabsb (366)  5 months ago

No problem. But tell me how am I going to send it. Can I email or is there any way I can use myLot for that. I'm sorry I am quite new to myLot.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Pigglies (3930)   ranked 59 out of 180 in the da vinci code  5 months ago

Thanks! I sent a message to you with my email address since I don't think it is possible to attach files on MyLot.

Have you read the prequel to The Da Vinci Code -- Angels & Demons? It's a great read. Better I think than The Da Vinci Code even.
Like you I don't read a lot of fiction either. Well aside from the Avalon series from Marion Zimmer Bradley and the Harry Potter series:)


myLot reputation of 87/100. revellanotvanella (1125)   ranked 149 out of 180 in the da vinci code  5 months ago

Alot of people mentioned Angels and Demons but this girl was raving to me about Digital Fortress but also A&D was great.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Pigglies (3930)   ranked 59 out of 180 in the da vinci code  5 months ago

I definitely want to read Angels and Demons now. And I'm thinking I'll also eventually read Digital Fortress as well.

I enjoyed Dan Brown's ANGELS & DEMONS. Of course, it featured Robert Langdon also. I wish they'd make that into a movie. It's a great novel. If you haven't read that I highly recommend it. thumbup
