I am always puzzled by people who are motivated by fashion - fancy having no taste of your own - weird, or what?
A lot of my tastes are deeply unfashionable. Things that I have loved for most of my life are English Traditional Song and Science Fiction and Fantasy (nerd stuff, I suppose, to fashion victims). Even then, in order to impress, me a song or a book has to expand my horizons in some way - it has to show me things I didn't know or force me to look at familiar things in a new way - quite a tall order. The revered SF author, Theodore Sturgeon, once said that "90% of everything is crap" - how true!
Anyway, I have read the 'Da Vinci Code' - I got to the end always hoping that it would get better - it didn't and I have filed it with the 90%.
