Agreed and agreed. I'll admit to enjoying DaVinci while reading it on the beach.
Rule of Four I did not enjoy. I just like some others a little more, but this is becoming redundant

Depending on things, you might like Tom Robbins'
Another Roadside Attraction. Not really a serious "debunker of indoctrinate Catholic dogma," but more of a frolic while pulling at the threads of the Shroud. If something like Hunter S. Thompson's
Where the Buffalos Roam (ps. Great Movie. Bill Murray as Thompson. Whip-ass funny, and doesn't make you want to rip your GI track out like
Fear and Loathing does...for me anyways. Glorifies drug use my ass...), you might like
ARSA.
/admits to being a big Robbins fan. He lives in Seattle, if that helps
