Well, I must be the only person alive who hasn't read a Janet Evanovich book. I had the first one on the top of my missing TBR pile. Still haven't found the missing books. There were about five books in a pile that I was working my way through. All are missing.
Teri, if you are a very conservative Christian, you wouldn't appreciate the stuff in DaVinci Code. Although it is a fiction book, it is based on some research that is claimed to be factual. I'm sure some of it is and some of it is probably speculative. Just the same the story was extremely interesting and there was a lot of stuff to give one food for thought. Sometimes you just gotta read something for no other reason than to see what all the fuss is about.
The Seth books were written in the '70's and were basically transcripts of material channeled through a woman named, Jane Roberts. It is highly complex and mostly pretty dry reading, but it contained information that at the time was extremely provocative and ahead of it's time. The idea that we create our own reality and that thoughts are things, that first there is the thought and then the manifestation, rather than the opposite. I read them in the late '70's and early '80's and was pretty blown away with the stuff. It all made sense to me and was pretty much the catalyst for the direction my life took. Not the best books I've ever read, but probably some of the most influencial.
I'm another who hasn't read "The Divinci Code", and I'm still not sure if I want to. Maybe someday. For those of you who were wondering about Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum books, they are classed as mysteries, but they're really comic. The early ones are the best. Somehow I happened to discover her when the 1st one came out & have been a fan ever since & have turned several other people on to them also. Often when they're going through a "down" period & need a good laugh.
I haven't read The Secret Life of Bees, but almost everyone I know who reads has. It's on my list, I swear. Also haven't read any Janet Evanovich, but I did give my mother a compilation of the first 3 Plum books, so I'll probably borrow that from her and read them - sometime.
I also haven't read any Jodi Picoult, but I had to put her on my list since I see her name on here all the time.

Still have Secret Life of Bees peeking out from under my bed and thanks to Scrappy, I know I'll get to it soon.
Also, I've never read Elizabeth George, Jody Picoult or the Stephanie Plum books. *blushing* There's never enough time! *sigh*

La Vie en
"The Da Vinci Code"
And after everything I've read about it, especially lately!, I have *no desire whatsoever* to read this!
Dan Brown's "Deception Point" was incredible!

Yeah. Haven't read 'The Da Vinci Code'. Doesn't interest me enough I guess.

Me, neither, Teri...haven't read it and have no desire to.
