I don't know anything about Holy Blood... but interestingly, one of Brown's characters name is an annagram of one of the authors name of Hold Blood... .

I'm always collecting new material on any and every history period in time. Whenever I go place I love to get into it's history, it's people. <BR/><BR/>If writers can't use non-fiction books to write their fiction, then how are we going to have historical fiction.<BR/><BR/>I know I'm just writing the extreme-farside- of the arguement. But I just am seeing the other side. <BR/><BR/>Granted, I haven't read Da Vinci Code yet. I actually have it and the first book Angels and Demons (I think that's the title) I do plan to get to them.<BR/><BR/>So I guess maybe my opinion could change after I read it...but it sounds like those two who wrote Holy Blood, Holy Grail are looking for attention.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12725467.post-1141102317789167602006-02-27T23:51:00.000-05:002006-02-27T23:51:00.000-05:00Dan Brown's been sued for copyright infringement b...Dan Brown's been sued for copyright infringement before, but the court ruled in his favor.<BR/><BR/>The authors of Holy Blood, Holy Grail, who are suing him now, have profited enormously from the Da Vinci Code's reference to their book.<BR/><BR/>It looks like this lawsuit will result in even more book sales for them. Yesterday they were ranked as high as #13 on Amazon.com's bestseller list.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
