I sure have. Around five times from cover to cover now, when once would have more than sufficed. How about you?
By the way, the five full readings don't include needing to sift through certain pages an excessive number of times, or the thousands of pages of other, related material I've read in order to factually answer readers' excellent questions about Leonardo and his art as described in The Da Vinci Code. Legitimate research or latent masochism? You know, it all just ceased to matter at some point in 2004.
Speaking of which, there is a 2004 FAQ on the About Art History site saying yes, I've read The Da Vinci Code and am not answering your sincere questions with wild guesses. "Have you read the book?" is more friendly reassurance (and a naive - didn't know there was an email onslaught ahead - warning that TDVC is a work of fiction) than proper book review, so don't look for the latter.
Incidentally, don't you love the way La Gioconda is looking sideways in this eye detail? The whole Code business ... would have been reason enough for the mysterious smile. Had book and painting been convergent works, I'd even be tempted to upgrade "mysterious smile" to "filthy rich smirk."
