If you want to see how far literary standards have fallen in over a hundred years compare Dan Brown to those writers who were popular in the Victorian era. Dickens? Thackeray? Trollope?
"A classic is something everyone wants to have read and no one wants to read."

~ Mark Twain


There are far greater numbers of literate people today, so its not a fair comparison. Dan Brown's novels are loved by the bourgeoisie, who couldn't even read a hundred years ago. Of course literary standards have fallen.
