No one has ever written something I could bring up a significant complaint about except perhaps Cervantes and Shakespeare. But for modern stuff, Greene comes close. Except that End of the Affair book. That one just annoyed me.
So I'm confused. Are you saying you like Graham Greene, or that he annoys you and you hate him?
As for me, "I could no sooner pick a favorite star in the heavens."
Or, maybe I could. I like Robin McKinley. Garth Nix is at the top of the list, too. Orson Scott Card, but mainly the books at the beginning of series or stand-alone books. As the series go on, the books get more boring (such as
Xenocide--ugh, an entire book going on and on about this Brazilian planet). I really like his
Enchantment, which is a great modern retelling of Sleeping Beauty.
Then there's Louis Sachar, who wrote
Holes, and Cornelia Funke, who wrote
The Thief Lord. I really ought to increase my adult fiction reading. Most of my favorite authors are of children's books. But oh well. I like it.
