Rob (USA: AL) (2010/10/28): The book that argued that Jesus did not die on the cross, but married Mary Magdalene, settled in France, and had children who went on to become French kings and the founders of a secret order. Absurd but popular. Gave Dan Brown the idea for his thriller, The Da Vinci Code. Proves that the less you know or care about the past, the more confidently you can write about it.
