Read the "Illuminatus!" trilogy by Robert Anton Wilson, and if you're smart, all questions you may ever have about the Illuminati will be answered.

"Illuminatus!" answers questions that cannot be answered by research.

If you've read "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown, it's clear he's perfected his formula by the time he wrote The DaVinci Code. Still, it's an awesome book.

I'm sorry but Dan Brown's books are not that great. He focuses all of his attention to "plot" and has absolutely zero character development. He puts "facts" in his stories and connects them through completely rediculous speculations. Having said that though I suppose it is a style of fiction that appeals to a lot of people, I personally find it terrible however.

was like a cheap drug that's highly addictive. Read the whole thing in under 24 hours which is crazy for my usual pace.
Whether or not the holy grail stuff is true or not, I did appreciate the insights into the sacred feminine.

True. Also, the ending of the Da Vinci Code is ridiculous. You can tell he got lazy.
(Oh yeah and the "sacred feminine" did go on my nerves. He's obsessed with it, he used that term at least once per page.)

It's not great litterature, and the characters are pretty flat, but it's an entertaining thriller.
oh, and lol, Kracus has a "theory"
