Foucault Lite -or- The Da Vinci Code

I just finished The Da Vinci Code the other day and i have to say it was a fairly enjoyable book. The author laid out the same clues/puzzles that the characters were working on and gave the reader enough time (a page or two) to crack it before our heroes did. A good example would be 13-1-1-2-21-8-5-3 was found written next to a dead body. What special sequence are the numbers part of? (Highlight for answer) The numbers are the first 8 numbers of the Fibonacci Sequence 1-1-2-3-5-8-13-21. Anyway, the book deals mostly with two very real groups the Priory of Sion (of which Leonardo Da Vinci was a part of) and Opus Dei(which take a very fundamentalist view of the teachings of the Catholic Church). Anyway if a good mystery about the Holy Grail is what you're looking for, than pick this book up and give it a shot.
