Dan Brown is toilet literature at best, there is nothing of literal value in his work. Not saying he doesn't create entertaining shit-fiction for the masses, but considering the brief of this topic, i.e. a book that can actually be written about on some literal basis, all of Dan Brown's stuff is utter shit-cake.

I don't really understand why the scope is 1999 onwards, that's a fairly arbitrary date and doesn't mark any boundary in literary culture or movement.

Actually Uzi, you forgot something.

Dan Brown writes to formula. Predicting the zomgshockerending is pretty simple if you're already familiar with previous work. Reading Digital Fortress completely ruined the Da Vinci Code for me.

Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

Now there's a book I'd love to read. I also asked if "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" could work, but it's not post-1999.

It really is a bullshit rule.
