Seen /lit/ shitting on Dan Brown a lot lately. You know how many new readers he brought to reading the classics and interested the population in reading again? Yeah the Robert Langdon series is a bit cringy in that it’s a white male power fantasy.
>look at my middle aged handsome world renowned professor protagonist with a made up degree who is shy of sex but gets molested often
But overall look at his contribution and accomplishments to literature. If I didn’t enjoy him in elementary school I might not be reading Nabokov now. Anyways say something nice (or bring general discussion).
