Certainly the "curiosity for why it's so popular" thing is why I would read it, if I would read it. One day I will be trapped in a ski lodge for a week with only the very large pile of books I brought with me to read (plus all the music I no doubt also brought with me), and I will give it a very swift read-through (as I did with the entertaining abomination known as The Da Vinci Code once upon a time)...
I am remarkably unfamiliar with most of the books you list for last year, so I shall keep them in mind :)
