Who said 'there is no free lunch'?
Nobel-prize winning Chicago-school economist Milton Friedman is famous for saying, "There is no such thing as a free lunch." Sci-fi novelist Robert Heilein also used the phrase in his book "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress." The term means that nothing is free, and if something seems free, it's just that you're getting charged through a back-door means; e.g., a bar might offer you a free lunch but you pay for it in the price of drinks. More likely is that it may be free to for some people, but someone else is picking up the tab. Actually, Robert Heinlein wrote "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch." Often shortened to TANSTAAFL in written conversations these days. "There is no such thing as a free lunch" refers to economics. In economics everything from our time to money is a resource. To have a "free lunch" is to give up a resource, "time", that could be used elsewhere. So although you gain a "free lunch", you lose a resource.
Why do people hate Dan Brown's writing?
I don't think they hate his writing so much as they hate the IDEA behind is writing. Dan Brown has made a name for himself by writing fiction (and let me emphasize that it is indeed FICTION) that average people can relate to. However, what he didn't anticipate is that there is a large group of people out there who read Dan Brown and forget to keep the part about it being fiction in mind. He ties in bits and pieces of reality so closely into the fiction that it's hard to separate the two at times. This annoys a lot of people. It's my personal belief that the majority of people who read Brown, and get angry at books like The Da'Vinci Code, aren't really angry at Dan Brown. These people simply cannot separate the fact from the fiction and get frustrated with the book, so they blame the author. Reading Dan Brown is no different than watching Sci-Fi TV shows. It's entertaining and fun to think "what if," but at the end of the day, you realize that it's just fiction and isn't real. When I hear people say that they hate Dan Brown 90% of the time I just laugh, because I find that those same people are going home and watching shows like Eureka, ER, The Office, and even reality TV. Out of one side of their mouths they complain that Dan Brown is not being "true to life" (I hear that one a lot), and yet they go home to watch mind numbing TV without realizing that it's the exact same thing, simply in a different form. My advice to anyone who doesn't understand why Dan Brown is hated so much is to simply not pay attention to the people doing the hating. Dan Browns books are a form of entertainment, just like any other fiction novel. I truly feel sorry for anyone who doesn't understand that very simple fact. B: I don't think it's the subject matter as much as his horrible writing style. Really, seventh graders could do a better job. His writing style is: action, followed by long explanation, action, long explanation and anagrams of people's names. But you know what? Whatever it is that people don't like about his subject matter or his writing, this idiot is laughing all the way to the bank!
