A confession

I quite like The Da Vinci Code.
I don’t like the fact that people find it convincing, and actually start to believe the conspiracy theory.
I hope that the inevitable success of its transition to film will result in a film also being made of its predecessor, Angels and Demons, simply because there’s some spectacularly bad science in the book. Bad science being an easier thing to rubbish, it might wake up some people to how ludicrous the conspiracy theory in the Da Vinci Code is. (And ideally Christianity itself, but I think that would be asking too much.)
