Honestly, you should. If anything, its a good read. Doesn't mean you have to take it seriously. I'm a taoist, I still read books on religion, etc. True there is little to no evidence, most of what Brown has is speculation. But he makes interesting points. And a lot of it doesn't even have to do with Mary, I mean thats the main idea behind the book but Brown fills it up with so many other facts/ideas too.
And if anything, its the fact that people don't want to believe it, so badly. I mean seriously. Think about it. Priests aren't allowed to marry/engage in sexual intercourse, but the human incarnate of god himself is? If it were proven true, it could shatter people's belief in the teachings of their religion.
Which is why, people don't liek to think about it.
