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?

    What I’m taking away from this post and comment section is “if you’re a writer, just tell the story you want to tell. Even amazing writers and storytellers have people who just can’t enjoy their stuff.”
