Terrible, well renowned novelists
KharBevNor:
Maybe I just don't like Virginia Woolfe because I haven't got a vagina.
Blyss:
Emily Dickinson always seemed a bit overrated to me. I don't like poetry much to begin with, but hers in particular makes my head start to pound almost immediately - perhaps from banging it so hard on the desk as I read... Not sure.

Where are the dual-wielded crossbows again? I must have missed that part in English class.

What poetry do you like?
Oh and Khar, I was meaning to ask, does your hatred extend to 'A Room Of One's Own' as well?
KharBevNor:
That's an essay, not a novel? A rather dated essay now also. Give me Germaine Greer anyday, I prefer being punched in the balls to being subjected to unbelievably tedious drivel, sorry, fascinating experiments with form.
I really don't want to throw stones at any particular people, but something I notice with a lot of people, this applies to painting as well, is people seem to like anything just because it's avant-garde. Being unusual and being good are not one and the same thing. To continue this theme, large amounts of everything William Burroughs wrote is utter tosh.
