At 2pm on Wednesday, October 30th, Dan Brown signed onto Facebook to host a Question & Answer session. Over the course of one hour, fans had a chance to talk candidly to the man behind the mysteries.

When asked, “What [would] you be if you were not a successful writer?” Dan responded, “Without a doubt, I would be a teacher. I believe teaching is the most noble profession on earth.”
