Now that's just scary.

Still, you won't find this novel anywhere but the 'fiction' section. Except maybe on the sale table later on down the road...

But you do find Pagels in the history section and her stuff is basically romantic fiction. Don't kid yourself. Many a Yale graduate will read Brown and think it is more nearly true than, say, Sir Walter Scot's "Ivanhoe." (Assuming, of course, that they have ever read "Ivanhoe")

I know I know, it's just fiction...but consider this, what if someone were to write a book about someone who is very sacred to you in your own family. And this book is full of lies and half truths about that family member and saying things that could spread embarrassing false rumors about this person and your family. But the writer tells you don't worry it's just fiction. Would the fact that its just fiction lesson your passion for trying to get the truth out so people are not taken in by it, and maybe even try to do your part to convince people not to buy it?
