DaVinci code
I'm sure a large handful here have already read it. If you haven't grab it, especially if you're looking for a fast, but not braindead, book. Great fiction that incorporates historical fact, art, religion, consipiracy theory, etc. Definitely the type of book that you won't want to put down (except to jump on Google since there are so many aspects of the book that I wanted to investigate further). Not the most amazing writing in the world, but it's all about the plot. It will provoke some good conversation.
And if you like it, read Angels and Demons, by Dan Brown as well. Also in the same vein, and also a pageturner.
“Within this furnace of fear, my passion for life burns fiercely. I have consumed all evil. I have overcome my doubt. I am the fire.”
