Huffington Post’s Gary Jansen asserts 9 reasons why Dan Brown makes a difference in the world. He writes, “what Brown does in a way that appeals to millions of people around the world is tell stories that remind us there’s more to the world than meets the eye. His books–filled with history, intrigue, secret codes, and symbols embedded in paintings, books, churches, monuments, and government buildings–suggest that the things we take for granted are imbued with hidden meaning. A painting may not just be a painting…and the façade on a building may be more than a simple decoration.”
