Do any of you have a particular writer who’s voice – or way of speaking to the reader- that is particularly difficult to read? Do you still enjoy them?
Particularly easy?
For me, I really love the depth of Ann Pachett and the rambling intelligence of Christopher Paolini but they tax my brain. I feel the same about the flowery prose of Tolkien. Beautiful, magical wonderful artists with amazing work. It’s just so hard for me to read the way they speak. It takes time and dedication to finish the books, despite loving the story.
The ones that come easy, I devour. Neil Gaiman. Douglas Adams. Victora Schwab. Oddly enough, I even enjoy Salinger and Hemingway. It’s not necessary the vocabulary complexity or subjects. It has something to do with the sentence structure, and how much by brain has to work to pull your image from the words.
It’s made me curious how others experience it.
TL;DR: do you have writers that are hard/easy to read? Why?
