ive read a lot of classic literature from a lot of countries but did i enjoy any of it the way i can enjoy some good pulp? some, but not all. reading a good story for the sake of reading it makes for a good pallet cleanser when all you do is read the heavy stuff.
Personally I can't stand writing that doesn't flow well. I hate authors like Raymond E. Feist and King because their writing just seems really convoluted and melodramatic. Which books have you read Crowquill? I haven't read anything after Gerald's Game.
