Ahh, but that's a critique of quality, not quantity.

let's be honest: Dan Brown is no shittier than James Fenimore Cooper or Charles Dickens. We're just denied the misty water-colored memory filter to put it in perspective.

The fact that Capital in the 21st Century has spent 21 weeks on the NYT best-seller's list is a sign to me that it's gonna be okay.
