Epic.

Intentionally overusing the sea in shitty metaphors doesn't make it a bad metaphor. Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's bad. It this case all it means is that is more difficult to use the sea as a metaphor well and in a distinguished way.

This goes for many other metaphors. And honestly, if you don't know what you're doing with a metaphor you shouldn't use one at all. This isn't true for just the sea.

No.

I'm not the only one on /lit/ to have read something by Grimwood, right?

I recently read pic related, and I really enjoyed it. It was well written, had interesting references, and I really liked the plot.

I am also currently making my way through Stamping Butterflies, and I am really enjoying it thus far.

So what do you guys think about John C. Grimwood?
