Maybe I do? nossy Send a noteboard - 16/04/2012 09:07:47 PM
No.

To be honest, I don't even know who those "mainstream popular novelists" of the moment are, except for the local ones that I don't read but can't escape from their media exposure. And Dan Brown, as I think even blind, deaf and living in the middle of the woods someone would probably still manage to be invaded by the marketing machine behind Dan Brown.

I could only think of a few.:P But yeah, Dan would be one.

I used to read quite a few as a kid/YA (I loved Colleen McCullough's Roman novels for e.g., and Ludlum if it counts as "mainstream" rather than genre), but after spending a decade or so barely reading fiction, what I read now (aside from non fiction that remains my dominant choice) is mostly literature, with about 20% of genre fiction for entertainment.

Not really, but I used to be quite keen on Wilbur Smith's Egyptian novels. - 14/04/2012 04:43:22 PM 747 Views

That genre is harder to define than you'd think. - 14/04/2012 11:54:32 PM 795 Views
