The DaVinci Code was excellent, yes.
However, don't bother reading Dan Brown's other novels (Angels & Demons, Digital Fortress) because they're EXACTLY THE SAME.
I'm not kidding, all 3 books are flippin' identical. Pick one, read it, enjoy it, and leave the others alone.

i love rading, so i can write and write about this 
I like old sci-fi: russian like Kir Bulyczow, Strugacki brothers, american like Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dick, polish - Stanislaw Lem (if you find him - read!!!). When i was younger i read oceans of fantasy book, four for day, sometimes six :p I liked Frank Herbert - "Dune", polish writer - Sapkowski (Witchman), Andre Norton. George RR Martin, Prathett. Sci-fi again: i loved Orson Scott Card, Herbert Wells, Jules Verne and others.
Now i like european writers like Virginia Woolf, Edgar Allan Poe, H.P Lovecraft, Oscar Wilde, Orwell, Canetti, Anais Nin, Hesse, Remarque and many others, russian like Dostoyewski, Turgieniew, Bulhakow, american - Joseph Heller, Jonathan Carrol, Huxley, Burrougs, Henry Miller. I adore writers from south america: Cortazar, Jose Lezama Lima, Mario Vargas Llosa. I like Marquez. I can read their books second time.
But my favourite are Jose Lezama Lima "Paradise" and Bruno Shulz "Cinnamon Shops".
[ofc. i read many math books, but it's about math
- i like topology and analysis and differencial equations, i read mostly in polish and i don't know if this book are in english]

Yeah, I liked Brave New World. Had to read it back in 12th grade English class, and I ended up finishing the book 3 times.
