That’s odd that you didn’t feel Herbert’s writing was bad, because it’s honestly very bland and simplistic.

You can say it 100 times, doesn’t mean it’s true.

You’re completely delusional

I don’t even crack open a book until I know some things about the author.

I think it’s important to know the author’s background when you’re reading literary fiction and/or classics.

I also prefer to read a well rounded assortment of writing, meaning that the author’s cultural background is high priority knowledge for me.

The western canon and the big publishers tend to neglect non-Anglo writing, so if you are going into stores just taking books off the shelf without looking then you’re missing out on the world, really.

I can’t visualize audiobooks enough for it to be worth it for me. No reason to force yourself.

Maybe you just read books that aren’t interesting enough to be filmed?

Shit, I’ve seen a few books bragging about being long listed

You wrote a lot for someone who couldn’t have possibly read the article.

Maybe you should read the article instead of leaving such a pointless shallow comment

This joke didn’t go over well at all did it?
