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?

    Stephen King and Brandon Sanderson.

    Both are objectively fantastic at what they do, and I just lose interest inside of 50 pages on both.
