Best and Worst Books of 2003?

Posted by simoniker on from the printed-word-is-the-bird dept.

Thousandstars writes "I saw the article on the best and worst movies of 2003, and, being a literature geek, I thought it would also be appropriate to ask for the best and worst books of 2003. In fiction, Neal Stephenson's Quicksilver is toward the top of my best list. How about everyone else?"

    I got this hoping for some cerebral cotton candy, I was familiar with a lot of the themes, Fibonacci numbers, secret societies, The Gnostics, reformation, DaVinci himself. I was drubbed with poorly thought out, halfhasardly researched drivel. Brown should of been shot.

    ditto for the previous 9 books.

    Like I say, there a great set of 300 page books stretched out into a set of 1000 page books.

    Do we really need 3 pages on the fact that it is foggy?

    Foucault's Pendulum is much better.
