I honestly have no idea what I should do at this point. I feel I'm being really wishy washy in life, but I'm also recently turned 19 and I'm approaching the point in my life where I just need to pick something and go with it. I am very jealous of people around me without ambition, or those who are fine doing one thing for their whole lives. I really, really wish I could be like that

Haven't read Da Vinci Code but my answer would have to be Angels & Demons

>Vittoria was steaming now, but the first faint hints of an exasperated smile appeared on her lips. "For your information, professor, my next experiment will make scientific history. I plan to prove neutrinos have mass."
>"Neutrinos have mass?" Langdon shot her a stunned look. "I didn't even know they were Catholic!"
>With one fluid motion, she was on him, pinning him down. "I hope you believe in life after death, Robert Langdon." Vittoria was laughing as she straddled him, her hands holding him down, her eyes ablaze with a mischievous fire.
>"Actually," he choked, laughing harder now, "I've always had trouble picturing anything beyond this world."
>"Really? So you've never had a religious experience? A perfect moment of glorious rapture?"
>Langdon shook his head. "No, and I seriously doubt I'm the kind of man who could ever have a religious experience."
>Vittoria slipped off her robe. "You've never been to bed with a yoga master, have you?"

'Naruto's Naughty Nights'
By Tereza (she had her last name in Japanese characters).

I skimmed the first few pages briefly, and through the lazy grammar, clumsy spelling and the occasional scrubbed out letter where the hallmark descriptions of naruto-kun's cute lips and 'delicious' eyes that categorise the archetypal yaoi fanfiction.

They were all anime fanfiction, /lit/.

Every.
Single.
One.

It was only then that the sun had started to rise and the room was illuminated with glittering bleach, naruto and death note posters and I could clearly make out the smirking face of asuka blown up across her chest, mocking my misguided lust.

I still fucked her, and i still don't feel clean.
