#10: The Da Vinci Code — Dan Brown (2003)
With over 80 million copies sold worldwide, Dan Brown’s conspiracy-fueled thriller became a publishing sensation. Combining art history, religion, and breakneck pacing, it enthralled—and infuriated—critics and theologians alike. The novel’s U.S. sales alone reached into the tens of millions, and its film adaptation extended its influence far beyond bookstores.
