- Ursula Le Guin
- George Orwell
- Cormac McCarthy
I read some of A Wizard of Earthsea by Le Guin, but it didn't really grab me. I like fantasy fiction,but this didn't really interest me that much.
George Orwell - I tried to read 1984 again (I've tried before), but just found it very slow and hard to get into. I usually really like dystopian fiction but this bored me a bit.
Similarly with Cormac McCarthy, I like dystopian fiction but the way he writes just irritates me! I can't get on with the fact that he doesn't really write dialogue. It's not in quotation marks, and that just really bothers me?? It's a shame because the book's been recommended to me a lot, and I feel like I would like it, but I just struggled to read more than a few pages after realising how he wrote dialogue.
