Origin by Dan Brown
After picking the novels of Dan Brown for my Mastermind Specialist Subject, I realised that for that one day of filming, I was perhaps the nation's foremost expert on Dan Brown novels (or at least in the top 10). If I don't continue to read his works, I won't have a claim of being in the nation's top ten at anything.
I think he's getting better at writing, I'm a few pages in, and haven't snorted derisively once. However I may have just addled my brain by over exposure to his literary style and techno babble/"academic" research.
