Doesn't count if he cheats with bullshit line breaks.

There are a few authors like that who I simply won't read because ALL of their books are 700+ pages. John Barth is the best example of this.

Lost in the Funhouse (the collection) is only 200 pages long. Read that then decide if you want to read his longer works.

desu if he cut down on his often ridiculous similes and metaphors all his books would be half the size.
