The conversation I just had with my mother, and you have to imagine me saying all of this through sheepish laughter:

Me: Oh, it's so bad.
Mom: (disappointed) Really?
Me: It's not even a first book, and ... and the passive voice, and the excessive use of epithets ...
Mom: (lost) Oh ...
Me: I swear, it's not you, it's me. I'm anal and elitist.

And also:

Me: Mom, think of it this way. If I took you to a miniature golf tournament played by middle-schoolers, would you like it?
Mom: Probably not.
Me: Exactly.

The book lost me a few pages in, when Dan Brown was introducing Robert Langdon and more or less came right out and said 'Harrison Ford should play Langdon in the movie version.' Which makes it even funnier that they wound up with Tom Hanks.
