I like him, but for me, it’s Stephen King, a lot of his stories he goes off on a twenty page non-relevant rant.

Though, the ones where he keeps that to a minimum, are great.

Then there’s Mr. Marketer James Patterson who markets out his name to other authors making it look like he wrote the book when it was obviously someone else.

    I don’t like Dostoevsky. I find his overall philosophy boring, character frantics and cliche, writting style and structure bad. I like The Idiot, and to some extent the demons. Crime and punishment and brother k I thought were boring.

    I’m in a minority though. He is obviously world renowned writer, so maybe I don’t get him. Although most of my russian friends share my opinion.
