Eh, you'll probably like him once you read him. They teach his books a lot in high school English, so you'll maybe get some exposure in...I'm gonna guess 5 years or so.
Passive aggressiveness, nice!
I won’t be reading his works, mostly because I prefer authors that use proper English grammar.
Buck up kiddo, you’ll get ‘em next time!
That's not passive aggressiveness; it's condescension. Passive aggressiveness would be like hiding a spouse's favorite condiments after an argument or intentionally being late to a meeting with someone you don't like. It's being indirectly mean or hurtful. I'm very direct, by comparison.
A truly fascinating hill to die on. I'm gonna bet you're a BIG Brandon Sanderson and J. K. Rowling fan. Maybe a little Stephen King if you want to be adventurous.
I mean, it’s really not. It’s just a preference. I’m not at all familiar with Brandon Sanderson. I’ve never read J. K. Rowling but am familiar due to pop culture. I read some Stephen King years ago. Don’t remember what all besides The Stand and The Dark Tower.
Given your concern over my reading habits, you must be a librarian?
