By the way ...

... here's my take on the Da Vinci Code decision: Ruling is a boost for historical fiction writers, publishers.

  1. Personally, I'm reading the Da Vinci Code now...the writing isn't all that spectacular...I'm on ch 6 and actually, its a snore!

  2. It gets worse. If you can find a copy of Anthony O'Neill's The Lamplighter, read that. I think you'd like it.

  3. If you can stand it, this is much better, if I do say so myself.

  4. Well, it's different. Mine was written to order to accompany the news coverage - more work on an already busy day. And I think it fills the bill.
    While I agree that yours is quite good, I think you're wasting your talent on so junky a book. It's not worth it.
    I have now written three pieces about The Da Vinci Code. All were written to order. On my own initiative, I wouldn't have written a word.
