It's hard to believe. I've been reading since I was 3; it's always been my main entertainment. And this jackass has actually put me off reading. I'm gonna have to get a TV and watch all the Happy Days (ABC, 1974-1984) re-runs. I hate reading now.

Reading JDM is like reading Facebook posts. Like reading what old women write. Just do a find+replace for "hot chick" to "the grandkids".

I haven't been able to read for days now. This slop-poster has ruined reading for me.

I can't tell you how dull this is. Who's the fool who ever invented writing and books? What a waste of time.

I'm trying so hard to finish this, but it's painful. I'm gonna tell you all something: you've been tricked; this guy is nothing but a Romance Novel writer. The whole problem is that long ago some idiot categorized him as a crime writer and you all just go along with it. I dare you to read 40-odd of his pieces-of-shit in a row like I did and not go along with me.

Liam What were you reading when you were 3? Aristotle? Dostoevsky? See Spot Run?

Faulkner, Pynchon, McTarmac, and Finnegan's.

I might give reading one last shot; gonna buy the novelizations of Seinfeld (NBC, 1989-1998) and The Office (NBC, 2005-2013). Looking forward to lots o' laughs and lols. ("That's what she said." - rofl, lmao, OMG, Beam me up Scotty!)

Liam Tried Faulkner. Got on with it less than your experiences with JDM.
Pynchon I owned one book. It got donated without being opened after reading reviews on here.
McTarmac was 50/50 with me. Good and bad. Gave up after two poor books.
Don't think I've ever watched Seinfeld. Not an entire episode anyway.
The English, The Office? Can't stand the guy who played the MC.

I don't read guys who write 200-word sentences - I expect they're hippies, high on acid, man. WF can go faulk himself.

You did right with Python - "Gaiety's Rainbow" was one of the worst pieces of shit I ever read.

Tarmac was 10/90: NCFOM was great. "Bloody Hell Meridian" was Chinese, i.e., gobbledygook.

Liam Child of God, ncfom, The Road were his best for me.
There was at least one I gave up on as whole paragraphs/pages were in Mexican.
I'm Scottish, I barely have a grasp on English nevermind Mexican.
