Re: What authors do you not like?

[(Anonymous)]

Getting writers I dislike as people and don't enjoy all the writing of out of the way first:
JKR-- aside from her going mask off as a fashy transphobe, I hated the casual vacancy the whole time I was reading it, and re-reading hp as an adult the holes really showed.

Orson Scott Card-- similarly to jkr, you know, guy who wrote something that was meaningful to me when I was young turns out to be a hateful bigot. (the book I happened to read wasn't Ender's Game, but a book he wrote *on writing* that I must have read and reread I don't know how much as a kid who wanted to grow up to be a writer-- Ender's Game I thought was an interesting premise but ultimately really offputting)

And onto...

Cormac McCarthy- I just can't make it through the WAY he writes. I have no opinions on problematicness.

Eric LaRocca- Sadly not my thing. Someone who normally has tastes in line with my own LOVES their work but I plain did not enjoy what I read of their short fiction. Eventually I'll try one of their novels, and see if I like that better, because I really WANT to be on that train.

Ramsey Campbell- the only time I literally threw a book across the room and it was NOT the last time I picked one of his books up, and then the next one I read I hated so MUCH. I didn't hate the whole thing (it was a brick, if I had hated the beginning I'd have put it down and saved myself the trouble) but I hated the end so much.

There's another author whose name I am blanking on that I don't like but don't hate enough to have anything interesting to say... another horror author, which is my most-read genre.

And the popular authors who I know are simply not for me:

Brandon Sanderson, Colleen Hoover, Rebecca Yarros, SJM- I've seen enough reviews to know that I am happier leaving these ones to the people who enjoy them. I *probably* am not the right audience for Emily Henry but I *am* willing to try one of her books sometime.
