"The Secret of Secrets"


Dan Brown is one of the most successful novelists of our age. His fourth book, "The Da Vinci Code" (2003), sold over 81 million copies. Three of his novels have been turned into popular movies.

Last September Brown published a new bestseller, "The Secret of Secrets" (2025). Happily the book centers on a subject that fascinates me: human consciousness. I'm halfway through the novel and loving it.

While many readers will enjoy the book's thrilling vulpine plot, what interests me are Brown's non-fictional descriptions of philosophy (e.g., materialism v. noetic experience), spirituality, mythology and ancient history. These asides are accurate and entralling.

If you want to read something fun this Summer, try this book. You can borrow it for free from the public library or get it delivered from Amazon. I'd enjoy hearing your thoughts on its content.
