@emdeesee oh no, it's not someone everyone knows is bad. This person's books seem to get a moderate amount of praise.
His writing style is just the exact opposite of my reading taste, I think.
(I say "he" because I'm thinking of a particularly terrible (well-selling? somehow??) author who should have his writing license revoked.)
Ask me about the quality of prose in my favorite books? "uh, pretty good, I guess? Easy to visualize what the author was describing?"
Ask me about the quality of prose in books I dislike? "HERE'S MY 50 PAGE ESSAY ON EVERY POOR CHOICE OF WORD, PHRASE, CLICHร, IDIOM THE AUTHOR MADE AND WHY HE'S A FUNDAMENTALLY FLAWED BEING ANd I'm only on page 15"
For me, a book's prose is like a movie's music. When it's good, I don't even notice it. When it's bad, I can't pay attention to anything else.
It took me a while to get used to it, but I love Mastodon's multilingual personality. On Twitter, if you don't speak the languages, you will never see them on your feed. Here, it's a consciousness expansion. A world bigger than your tongue!
My partner is more amused than he should be that my birthday this year falls on Dyngus Day.
