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.
This thread is terrifying. Imagine Tolkien publishing The Hobbit and asking this thread their honest opinion. I’d wager there would be no LoTR. In that way, I do see the beauty in what you are doing here, it is like watching a time traveler go back in time and preventing their parents from meeting. Honestly, I am re thinking some of my favorite authors now, I’m so confused, and hurt. Touché.
