I can think of lots of books which might appeal to readers who enjoyed The 
DaVinci Code, both fiction and non-fiction.

John Crowley's series which includes the novels Aegypt, Love & Sleep, and 
Demonomania--the four novel is not yet published.  William Gibson's The 
Difference Engine, and Neal Stephenson's The Diamond Age; Richard Powers' 
The Goldbug Variations, Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose and Foucault's 
Pendulum, almost anything by Italo Calvino.

Non-fiction which helps contextualize some of the history of these ideas 
include all the works of the venerable and superb Dame Frances Amelia Yates 
(a scholarly heroine of mine!), including The Rosicrucian Enlightenment, 
Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition, and The Occult Philosophies of 
the Elizabethan Age.

Melynda Huskey (never at a loss for a book!)
