May I just say

Dan Brown's 'Symbol' sells 1M copies in 1 day
That no matter how many damn books it sells in one day, Dan Brown can't write, never could write. I held out reading The DaVinci code forever, and when I finally did I was gobsmacked by what a horrid, dragging, awkwardly worded piece of histrionic dreck it was. Figured I'd try Angels & Demons, and it was craptasticularly worse.
