I'm halfway through the book and while I KNOW it's fiction, I'm also realizing that it makes a lot of interesting connections that I've never made before and raises questions I'd never thought of. (As a researcher by trade asking questions is very important to me.)
As I've been reading I've occasionally stopped to check out a few of Brown's supositions on the internet, (to keep my minor crisis of faith in check) and have found out that some of his angles are blatently misconstrued, but other things aren't so clear (especially the bits about women.)
The Bible is just a book too right? (One that millions of people got behind, documenting a story that millions believe implicitly and without question.) But written by men... could some of the feminine elements not have been distorted?
What was your reaction to reading the book? Anger or Ah-ha? And have any of the lights that went on while reading made you stop and wonder why you believe what you believe while you're at church?
