I've been thinking the same thing Also when I got in to work, I opened my mailbox and discovered that I had received spam about the Da Vinci Code. Arrrrgh! I've been waiting patiently for months for the entire world to shut up about that thoroughly uninspiring book, but it hasn't happened yet.
My problem is that the Da Vinci Code is sent up on every vaguely comedic TV show, radio show, newspaper, si it becomes quite difficult not to know something about it. And it sounds rubbish... but there's this pressure to read it as you can't relate to the world at the moment without it. The same with Big Brother.
THe trouble is, I did the same thing with Harry Potter- ignored it for ages as everyone was talking about it, and then eventually liked it when I read it. How do you know if something is really rubbish without reading it? And then you've wasted your time and money anyway!
