i absolutely loved the da vinci code and love reading anything that has twists and turns. i have read all of dan browns books and i love ones that have hidden messages in seemingly normal things and the characters have to figure them out.
i have read about books that deal with messgaes hidden within chess boards and i have real problems trying to find books that deal with that sort of content. i like reading books that have to do with ancient egypt, medievel times and real events that occured long ago but are woven through the story line.
can somebody help me please?!!!

Be sure to read Dan Brown's other works, especially "Angels and Demons." Another author I would suggest is Arturo Perez-Reverte. "The Flanders Panel" and "The Club Dumas" have the same sort of mystery puzzle style as "The Da Vinci Code." If you like that aspect of it, you might also like Katherine Neville's works such as "The Eight" or Umberto Eco's works such as "The Name of the Rose." Reviewers have taken to saying that Neville, Eco, and Brown make a trio of good reading. If you like one of those authors, you will probably like the other two. Some other books you might like are "The Dante Club" and "The Poe Shadow" by Matthew Pearl and "The Rule of Four" by Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason. All of these books basically follow the same theme of a race to solve a puzzle by following scattered clues and they are all very well written.

The Bible Code - dealing with other aspects of hidden messages in the Scriptures in addition to what was discussed in the Da Vinci Code. You could also check out the source book(s) to the Dan Brown books

Dan Brown's books all have the same plot. Its the Boss/ Mysterious philanthropist that did it.
Valerio Massimo Manfredi is an Italian Historian who writes fictional novels based on true historical events, then gives you the facts as they are known, and lets the reader decide if they could have happened.
The Alexander trilogy are his most famous books, but Spartan is set around the famous battle of Thermopylae, and Empire of the Dragons concerns the theory that a roman legion may have appeared in China.

Dan Brown also wrote 'Angels & Demons', which is similar, and in my opinion a better book than 'The Da Vinci Code'.
I can also recommend 'The Geographer,s Library' by Jon Fasman.

Try The Rule of Four by Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason, I liked it even more than the Da Vinci Code!

Try Steve Barry...his books are even better than Dan Brown's. You also might want to read The Expected One by Kathleen McGowan. Enjoy.

What about Arturo Pérez Reverte (in English of course). He has some brilliantly plotted novels which keep you on the edge of your seat till the end and are well written (unlike Dan Brown´s books, but that´s only my opinion).
