Books that are a waste of time and paper

Timothy Zahn's Star Wars trilogy.  I do not feel my life has benefitted in any way from reading this.

Anything by Anne Rice, Robert Jordan, David Feituch, David Weber. All the Dragonlance novels are shit too, as is any franchise book, like Star Dreck. Niven is a runner up (interesting ideas, complete garbage otherwise).

But by far the worst is Dan Brown. If anything has completely destroyed my faith in humanity's intelligence, it's the popularity of his novels. If you like his writing, you're an idiot. Unfortunately, Dan Brown has now proven that the average person is an idiot, so I guess you're normal.
