Witty AND buxom maid starts working for some lady to escape from her past and weird stuff starts happening and you think OH NO IT'S THIS JANE EYRE SHIT ALL OVER AGAIN but instead of going for the squire's John Thomas she instead decides that a mistress is fine too and then the mistress starts going all crazy about conspiracy theories and PEOPLE LIKE YOU DON'T DESERVE TO LIVE.
The DaVinci Code is pure garbage, but so is every other book by Brown. The man can't write for shit, but he sure knows how to pick controversial subjects and then market the crap out of them.

those are both pure gold compared to the shite that is olympos, sequel to Ilium. apparently they have both been optioned as movies by a studio but take it with a grain of salt as movie studios seem to be buying the rights to everything.

mona lisa overdrive by gibson
maybe it's because i read it after comedy central aired battlebots, but reading neuromancer and count zero, i was seriously let down by mona lisa overdrive
geriatric molly millions for the lose

Moll Flanders has its flaws, but I think it's a bit excessive to call it "crappy," no? I found Moll an interesting character, especially for her ability to use reasoning to justify her actions and the divided qualities of her conscience. Also, I think it's an important book in terms of its relation to the prominent social philosophers of the time (Hobbes and Locke). Anyhow, that's just my two cents.
Signed. Some of his early shit was brilliant. The Stand was probably his best, until the last 200 pages or so, when it just started wandering. The Dark Tower is great until Wizard and Glass-Song of Susannah officially enters "suck" territory. King becomes a character in his own fucking novel. I think that truck blasted the writing skill out of him.
im yet to read olympos or ilium but im wondering why hyperion wasnt considered since that could be made into a very very good movie with the right people O_o
