Why Dan Brown fans had to wait so long (about 6 years) for his follow up to
The Da Vinci Code:
I was already writing The Lost Symbol when I started to realize The Da Vinci Code would be big.

Instead of writing and saying, 'This is what the character does,' you say, 'Wait, millions of people are going to read this.' It's sort of like a tennis player who thinks too hard about a stroke--you're temporarily crippled. [Then] the furor died down, and I realized that none of it had any relevance to what I was doing. I'm just a guy who tells a story.

I guess we are just going to have to see if that 6 years produced something great or not.
