Yeah, but given the nature of his writing, he sometimes includes lines of computer code or "chat speak" in his novel...so that could be the code to get your computer to make you pizza from the harddrive and spit it out the disc drive  ;D
I would purchase such a computer

No plot: check
No conflict: check
No character development: double check
Massive word abuse: mega super ultra check.

Yup seems accurate to me.

I entered some technical documentation text I've been working on for the last week and it told me I write like Dan Brown.
I find this hilarious.  Apparently he avoids action verbs that aren't "is" for his fictional writing the way I do in my technical writing? :P
Note to self: Never read Dan Brown.

I did each of the four paragraphs I did in a different thread for Hawthorn(e) and Enjorous:

1. Chuck Palahniuk (Fight Club)
2. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes)
3. Dan Brown (The DaVinci Code)
4. Margaret Atwood (I don't recognize her books.)
