But anyway, I'll go with Dan Brown as the most overhyped author in history

>>647373
Oh my

>If his face was to be seen it could have only been the look one has when a chance passes by and it is not realized until after the face.

OH LAWDY

>>647373
Well, this pretty much answers your question OP.

.>>647375 That would have been better if he wrote a story about Seal's face. Those pockmarks are very interesting.

My hobbies are Scuba diving and fishing. I was raised in Miami Florida at the time of the Muriel flotilla of refugees from Cuba in the early seventies.

Just because YOU didn't understand Joyce, that doesn't make him bad.

Kurt Vonnegut

Ok, he's not bad, but I'll be damned if you guys don't consistently shove his liberal cock down your throats and let his spunk dictate your views on society. In short, I think he's way overrated on this board. There are much better authors who are never discussed because this board mainly consist of /mu/-lurking hipsters.

>>648641

No one understands Joyce, he barely understood himself.

>Implying there's anything hipster about reading Kurt Vonnegut, one of the most popular American authors of the twentieth century.

>>648653
Stereotyping is not only a simple and effective time-saver, it has the added benefit of ensuring you're right, provided you don't listen to other people.

>>648659
Oh, come on...Joyce isn't THAT tough. Read Ulysses with the Stuart Gilbert guide and the New Bloomsday book, and read Finnegans Wake along with the Joseph Campbell guide, and it's all pretty clear.

I came to this thread to post this. The Amazon reviews of this book are hilarious.

This

>>648659

I'll never understand why people are so intimidated by Joyce outside FW. Do they just not know how to read?

>>650019

Something about him just makes him hard to follow for me.

Stephenie Meyer
Christopher Paolini
Laura K Hamilton
J K Rowling
Harriet Beecher Stowe

>he says it was horrible

I feel sorry for the people who have to listen to you in the real world

Everyone on /lit/ who talks shit about famous authors is a tool. People who spend their entire lives studying literature and then tell the world that a book/author is great should have their opinions respected. Sure buddy, 10,000 PhD's are wrong and you figured out that Joyce is shitty and Twain is only good for kids and Catch-22 isn't about anything and so on and so on.

Have some respect and keep an open mind.

Jane Austen
Stephenie Meyer
Nicholas Sparks
Dean Koontz

Orsen Welles

WISDOM!

Lol @ Hitler.
I think my all time least favourite author would have to be C.P. You mother fuckers know who im talking about.

>>650147
I totally agree. I could never get past the first volume of Strangers and Brothers.

L. Ron Hubbard

Whoever wrote The Turner Diaries.

>>648653
>surviving the firebombing of Dresden was a positive experience

>>650147

I have no idea what you're talking about. Everyone on 4chan likes CP.

chuck palahniuk's gay ass

Stephanie Meyers, if she can even be considered an author

Tim O' Brien.

I have to read his shit every god damn year since I'm from Minnesota.

The books he writes is just a bunch of people aimlessly walking around, from Lake of the Woods to Things they carried, it's just a bunch of nonsense.

So at the end I'm expecting "something is really going to blow my mind after all this shit." And something does blow my mind...THERE IS NO FUCKING CLIMAX. NOTHING HAPPENS.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Descartes, can you be less exciting cause I might have a heart strike.

>>650526

I live in Minnesota.

I read once in a while.

Who is Tim O'Brien.

>>650554

The fucking faggot who writes shitty books about "experiences" he had in life.

chuck paulniggerik

>>648696
>implying that doing that is really worth it

>>650526

Read his book of short stories. It's called _The Things He Carried_.

They're miles beyond what he does in his novels.

>>650588

Sorry, I'm fucking stupid. I meant _The Things They Carried_.

>>650588

Yeah, I read that too, it is also shit.

>>650526
I thought it was pretty sweet when that dude died in the pond of shit.

>>650669

But WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GOD DAMN WIFE. No one fucking knows, that's why this book is absolute shit. Leading us on and on and on and just when you think you will find out who and how done it.........END.

No one's said R.L. Stine yet?

>>650681
lol i had forgotten about the wife... basically the pond of shit is the only thing i remember in this book, yeah, it was a shitty book

>>650680
After my time. But Piers Anthony should get an honorable mention for being an author I read a lot of in my teens and got bitter about once I realized how much he sucked.

>>647158

Meyer.
Breaking Dawn was the worst thing I've read.

>>650714
Oh dear god. I am flushed with embarrassment over the number of Xanth novels in the attic. Time to unload them at half price books.

>>650747

But can you actually drop them off at the store in front of someone without devolving into a quivering pile of regret?

>>648461
>Problem #2 - They sometimes write futureistic science fiction that is set in the mid-eighties WHICH IS NOT THE FUTURE. (Looking at you Orwell)

Literally the best thing I've ever seen written on any review.

>>650760
I pretend they belong to my 13 year old.

chuck palahiuk

his books are yellow liek pee and he wears a shirt the color of smelly poop that you poop out of ur bleeding butt, teeeheeeee

That Twilight faggot. I hate her so much I don't even know her name.
