Yes, a bestselling male author. This is not his most famous work.

Is the book a stand-alone, or part of a series? And if it's not part of a series, does he also write a series?

Does the book fit into a particular sub-genre of thriller, i.e. spy, adventure, horror, etc.?

It is a techno-thriller.

No, much more recent than that. Last quarter of the 20th century.

Adams has it! Good job. Awesome book, one of my favorites, as well as Deception Point by Dan Brown. I like them better than his famous trilogy. ;)
Anyway, your turn, Adams.

I'm kind of meh about Dan Brown--the writing's not great, but you do learn a lot about art and (pseudo)history from reading him.
I haven't read anything too good lately, so I'll go for a novel, written in the 20th century, which I enjoyed reading in high school.

Though, I'll agree, Digital Fortress was the best Dan Brown I have read--he does better when he stays away from crazy conspiracy theories :)

"he does better when he stays away from crazy conspiracy theories :)"
Amen to that!
Ok, novel read in high school. Hmmm...
I'll go with "The Grapes of Wrath" for now.

Aah, I see. I didn't ever have to read that book. I only had to read "Pride and Prejudice". It's strange, I hardly ever read... Because my senior year includes four English courses, no math or science, a history, and a novel writing course. Haha.

I forgot to make another guess. Silly me.
"Catcher in the Rye"?
Was it written in the first quarter of the 20th century?

A book by an American author?
Here's a HS curriculum staple: "To Kill a Mockingbird"?
