Merlin,

I don't know what the hell you are trying to say here. I can't even grasp any concept. So I'm not going to bother. You, of all people, should not be telling us anything about writing whatsoever because you have one of the worst grasps on writing I have ever seen. Good books would not exist unless people had opinions on them. The public decides how good a book is, not an author. An author may have an opinion on what their best work is, but it certainly does not mean that it's true. Anthony Burgess thought A Clockwork Orange was one of his worst books, and I LOVE it!


Anyways, a really bad book was The Painted Veil by F. Sommerset Maughm. Holy shit, what a lame ass "dainty" story.

The Doc

P.S. Hemingway's worst novel was considered to be To Have and Have Not. I read it and liked it tremendously. I suggest it to all.

And you liar, teller of tall tales: you trample all the Lord's commandments underfoot, you murder, steal, commit adultery, and afterward break into tears, beat your breast, take down your guitar and turn sin into a song. Shrewd devil, you know very well that God pardons singers no matter what they do, because he can simply die for a song.
