LOLOLOL. You certainly did not offend me. I am not Dan Brown's fan in 
general, I have not read anything else that he wrote, but I heard the 
buzz and finally decided to check the book out, DaVinci code that is.

As I mentioned to Kemper, surprisingly I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it as 
one time read, but it was fun.

Several of my acquaintances disliked the book so much that I almost 
felt ashamed of myself to admit that I did like it.

But you know what? (I am not trying to be snarky here or even referring 
only to you, more like to all of my acquaintances who disliked the book 
so). I have a solid knowledge of russian classical literature 
(nineteenth century that is), I believe I can say that in my life I had 
read a lot of great books and will continue to read them.

Of course DaVinci code does not come close to Crime and Punishment, or 
Bunin, or Turgenev, or Chechov, but I also read plenty of books which 
are well, to put it mildly worse.
