Reply to comment by Sandi_T in What fictional books will make you even dumber instead of making you smarter? by oreominiest

I tried this many years ago at a time when I hadnt even realised there was such a difference in writing standard between any books, but even then i only managed a few chapters before I had to stop, I couldnt put my finger on it but it was just intolerable to read. I've since learned to appreciate prose and talented writing and how anyone could read 50 shades is beyond me.

I'll be honest, it's not even useful as a "well, now I feel better about my own writing" because it's comparable to a toddler scribbling and a talented middle school artist saying, "I feel better about my own drawing skills now!"

It's THAT awful. Oy!
