I've read two Wolfe books and they've both been ones that I really didn't care for, so I think I'm going to make the call that he's not for me at this point.

BAD. that I just deleted it off the list.

Like, I saw Weiner complaining that Heather The Totality bombed because he caught some flack in the MeToo movement, but dude, it got awful reviews.

Heather, the Totality, was horribly shallow but mercifully brief. I have no wish to encourage people to read it, ever.

I haven't heard of a lot of these, but Ian McEwan is someone I tend to stay away from as well - I'm never drawn to his work.Jess @ Jessticulateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03081569733749956845noreply@blogger.com
