Well this document is going to be a mile long too, take a few months
to put it together.
First let me just say this about classical books.
There is so much racism in classical literature it makes me want to puke.
I love adventure and action. So its quite a damper when I read authors
like Cornad, London, and Steainbeck are such jerkoffs, thinking their so
much better than anyone else. Actually its disappointing too since Steinbeck
rights great dtuff like the Pearl, Grapes of Wrath and East of Eden.
Nothing in this world pisses me off so much, so fast as someone thing
they are superior. I'll take them down a notch or two in a hurry.
Done it many times before. Fortunately I dont run into these types often.
I also hate authors that have to write with as much complexity and confusion
as possible. Is this to hide the fact they have less than stellar writing skills?
I prefer authors like Mark Twain, Hemingway and Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy.
Although I must say I hate huge larger than life sagas, like Tolstoys and Dr. Zhivago.
You know, stories that seem to include the whole history of man.
