I would hardly call HBHG non-fiction. It is one of those mildly clever works that intertwines some truth, some odd extrapolation of truth, and some outright fantasy. It's much like watching a Michael Moore film.

I've actually enjoyed all of Dan Brown's books to some extent. I thought Da vinci Code was quite good, as did I think of Angels & Demons. But it is fantasy, and so in that form, I enjoy it.

As for the key, I kinda think along the lines of Omikron. I have no idea if something like it exists in the real world, but it is plausible enough, and since I can't rule it out, I'll simple say.... hmm... interesting.

I did enjoy reading HBHG, and it's a fresh way of thinking... I'm a sucker for these kind of books.

If you want a good book, read Dune, preferably the first 3 (Dune, Dune Messiah, and the Children of Dune. :)

There are now loads of Dune books, but the original 3 are my favourites.

Ohhh... Wyvern by A.A.Antonasio is a good read, I really enjoyed that.

Oh... I seem to have gone wildly off-topic. :lol:
