when it comes to their books.
The way LOTR was written made it so fucking boring, I dropped it halfway through The Two Towers.
The Twilight series, on the other hand, was so entertaining that I read it till the very end. I don’t care if the characters are trashy / drama is crap / whatever; I just want to be entertained.
Fucking hell, I hate having to upvote this…so much…
Twilight is everything that is wrong with modern literature. It’s dumbing down your art in order to cater to a population whose reading levels have declined to the low grade school level over the years.
Good books increase your literacy. You learn new things from reading them; new words, new phrases, etc… an author is supposed to add to the collective intelligence of the world, not debase themselves to write at a fourth grade level so that their books are more popular to incurious illiterates.
