What is Angels & Demons doing on a list of books designed to make people look smart? I just retrieved my copy from my parents' house a couple weeks ago so I could continue savaging it on my LJ.

LOL. Well, you could argue that this list isn't the just the "smart book list" that everyone has but never reads--perhaps it's also the reservoir for crappy sequels to sub par bestsellers*.

* Disclaimer: I've never read the Da Vinci code, but I've heard it wasn't all that well written. That is all.

Da Vinci Code is terribly written. Angels & Demons is worse (and I've just discovered that they're making a movie based on it, aaaaaaaah!).

I love that Austenbook! I saw it linked on another friend's LJ. Very clever. :)
