What author did you read a book by and didn’t like, but gave them another chance and loved it?
I’m so glad I gave Edith Wharton another chance. I read Ethan Frome and thought it was fine. On a whim I picked up The Age of Innocence and fell in love. Now I’m buying anything I can by her. I recently read The House of Mirth, and can confirm she is one of my favorite authors now. Anybody have a similar experience with an author?
I tried to read The Hobbit in middle school and super noped on it. Then in high school I read The Fellowship of the Ring and made it about half way through The Two Towers and just couldn’t be bothered to read further. I really enjoyed some of those two first installments, but I low-key hated plenty other elements of them, they digress boringly too often, I mean, it includes fucking made up languages.
The films are amazing.
