Soulless, lifeless, devoid of life, this creature must be stopped before he infects others....*cue spooky horror music*

One of the reasons that I keep coming back to MR is the very low occurrence of flame wars, negativism and nastiness.
The OP asked for reading recommendations for "unputdownable" books. I'm interested in that too and I've gotten some good ideas from some of the other posts in the thread.
You've made it clear that you don't like Dan Brown. That's fine--everyone has an opinion. So, feel free to ignore this thread! Why waste the time and energy trying to convince others who have a favorable opinion of him that they are wrong? It's presumptuous and intolerant.
So instead of more Dan-Brown-bashing, positive reading alternatives would be welcome.
Thanks.
