The Duh Vinci Con (undrum) by gullible

Thought this was an interesting waste of time -- his book, The Da Vinci Hoax is a much better waste of time. Neither reads, of course, are a waste of time.

Recently, CBC producer Peter Kavanagh had this to say:

"What's the difference between James Frey [of 'Oprah' fame], the author of A Million Little Pieces, and Dan Brown? Above all, it is the nature of the lies. That and millions and millions of dollars, and for James Frey the bad news is that the difference is going to become even more exaggerated....
....The comparison between James Frey and Dan Brown isn't as odd as it might seem. Frey wrote a non-fiction work, which turned out to be in part fictional, and he was pilloried. Brown wrote a novel, claiming that everything apparently based in historical fact was true, which turned out to be a lie, and became rich and famous. And it says something about our slippery grasp of the idea of truth that this bothers very few of us. Frey's lies were personal; Dan Brown's are historical and institutional."
