My first book after college

Against my better judgment, I've just started reading Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code. People keep telling me how much I'll like it... "It's full of history!" But I'm not terribly optimistic. This Language Log post alerted me to the oddities of Brown's writing. And I have to say, even just a few dozen pages, the writing is painfully bad. More than once I've wanted to throw the book across the room.

All that said, it's nice to have time to read fiction again, even if it's trashy airport fiction.
