I really like reading the Dan Brown books.  In fact my favorite book in my opinion in Digital Fortress.
dan brown is extremely well known and influential- i can see why you like him
Yeah his books are really entertaining and suspenseful.  He also did a really great job on his Robert Langdon character and books
telling stories is one of the oldest forms of art, and dan brown excels at it.
Yeah he does.  I really like all his books.  The one that was most controversial however was The Da Vinci Code.  His style and writing in that really captivated me, even though it was controversial.
some say that the premise of the story undermines christianity, among many other controversial topics
Yeah, but you can't take everything literally.  For me, even though I'm a Catholic I find his books just plain entertaining and when you read them you need to suspend belief.  I especially like how incorporates so many real world settings and structures.
absolutely! reading is exercise for the mind. its an important thing to do daily.
Yeah, and when you read someone like Dan Browns books, it makes it fun and engaging activity.  He really keeps you hooked on the story at hand.
maybe try some other books? Adulthood is a Myth looks like a promising title. 
Yeah but I'm more interesting in the suspense type books.  I think I'll read his book Origin next here soon.
