Truth: I Can't Read...
I can't read Twilight. I can't read Harry Potter. I can't read Steven King. I can't read Tom Clancy. I can't read Danielle Steele. I can't read John Grisham. I can't read Dean Koonz. I can't read Ann Rice.
I can't read them, because I won't read them.
The mere thought that these books are Oprah approved, or popular makes me not want to read them. Yeah I've read King, Clancy, and Grisham..but I just don't care. If you read them, fine. Just keep it to yourself please. I find more often than not people read these "best sellers" in order to be able to talk about them with others who read them. I guess that's cute...but really what's the point? Is that the only point, or are you really curious about these books? So much so, you then have to run and see the movie the day it's out too.
I'm sure some of these are probably good books. Some of these authors have talent. But I have more respect for an author that churns out one good book, than these mass produced authors who have a new book out every year. Is it true they have writers for them, and they just have their names attached? That's what I've heard about Clancy and Steele anyways.
I'll stick to Faulkner, Mellville, Rand, Twain, Tolstoy, Steinbeck. Got a good book to recommend? One that I WILL read? If you could read my mind....
