I did.

This has apparently been a minor episode. Not looking for absolution, just saying.

I think I know what set me off. "The Lost Symbol." Dan Brown is financially probably worth you, me, and everyone else here put together. I read the last 200 pages last night just to see how it turned out. So yeah, he has that going for him. Kudos. But as a stylist he is horrible. The man cannot write. That he is so successful says more about where we are as a culture than about his abilities.

Envy? Maybe.

The millions are something to think about, though. Maybe I should turn to trash fiction ;-)
