Is it worth spending all of your time and effort writing a book, either fiction or non-fiction, for the very slim chance of getting it published?

Angels & Demons and Da Vinci Code were both good thrillers but they weren't worth the hype.

After being obsessed with the Back To The Future Triology for so many years, I like to read a good time travel book. Can anyone recommend a good one? Fiction or Science Fiction? What do you like about the book you are recommending?

is it just the media frenzy caused by his controversial statements claiming that the Da Vinci code was based on factual evidence or are they good books?

how do you read him:
as a controversial historian who is willing to challenge soceity's perception of the life of Christ?
or as just another story teller?

I primarily teach 20th century narrative (fiction and film) to many college students in the US for whom this may be their only exposure to so-called "World Literature." What have been some of your enjoyable reading experiences that are not originally written in English?

There's been a lot of brouhaha over James Frey's "A Million Little Pieces," but did the editors of the Big Book ever fact-check Bill Wilson's stories?
