I agree with Dan Brown, although I've not read his books. You see, the only people who ever reccommend him to me always say "I don't read much, but..." and I read a fair amount so that statement holds no ground with me.
I know a lot of people that love Palahniuk, and I read 3 or so of his books, but then I realized they were all more or less the same, so I don't care for him.
I do like On the Road. In fact, I loved it. But that may be due to me loving road trips, driving, and all that. Doesn't matter, different strokes for different folks.
Someone mentioned Hemingway, and I didn't care for A Farewell to Arms and couldn't figure out why he was so loved after I read it. Then I read For Whom the Bell Tolls last week, and I enjoyed that a great deal, so I may try some more of his stuff.
As for the Vonnegut, Joyce, and Shakespeare comments, I'm not gonna touch those. I will say that I get to see Vonnegut give a talk in a few weeks, and I'm incredibly excited for it.
