This post isn't to discredit any authors or their work! Just curious to see who you guys don't like that are otherwise generally popular authors, and why don't you like them? Mine would have to be John Steinbeck. While I can appreciate his books as well written I was pretty bored by every book of his and felt them to bw real downers. I guess thats the point of some.of them but I don't think they touched me in the way they touched many people.
