"Where there's muck there's brass"...

or so the old English saying went. Essentially, "Where there is rubbish/scrap/sh!t there is money to be made".


Well it seems that is changing...

'Da Vinci Code' fuels religious publishing boom

29.03.06 1.00pm


NEW YORK - A wave of religious books is coming to bookstores to cash in on "The Da Vinci Code" movie in May, including a book saying Jesus survived crucifixion and an Evangelical novel with a modern-day Mary Magdalene heroine.

Americans are finally able to buy Dan Brown's best seller in paperback on Tuesday, three years after it was first published, and with "Da Vinci Code" fever as strong as ever, it's never been so profitable to write about Christianity.

Words fail me... given that the basic premise of the Da Vinci Code, whoever might have written it, is fiction. I guess that some people will buy anything.
