Save yourself a step and read the Illuminatus! trilogy first.
There's a clear lineage of bonkers conspiracy theories getting more popularly approachable from Illuminatus! to Foucault's Pendulum to Dan Brown.
- blowski 4y agoThe Illuminatus trilogy is pretty avant garde in style, whereas Foucault's Pendulum is fairly standard prose. Really depends on what type of book you want.
- InitialLastName 4y agoYes, and Foucault's pendulum is very literary research oriented (long expositions of guys surfing their zettelkasten), where Dan Brown's books are standard pop fiction action fare. Every 15 years or so, we get a new, more popularly approachable entry in the "Templars/Illuminati are real" mystery thriller genre. We're about due another one, but I'll bet I missed it because it's in the Young Adult Fiction section.
