I’ll start: Ernest Hemingway.

I have a ton of respect for him, he influenced so many writers and the craft of writing, and he lived a fascinating life. But I just find his books to be so damned dry. I love simplicity but I just feel like there’s no voice or soul in any of his books. There’s experiences but I don’t feel any passion or something that moves my heart. I guess his topics just aren’t for me.

What about all of you?

    NK Jemison

    Fifth Season is so beloved and I can see why, but something about her writing just doesn’t click with me.

      Same here. I read the trilogy because of all of the awards, I kept waiting for it to hit me and it never did, but I could see why some people liked it.
