  Same, stopped at the end of book two. Just felt empty to me

  Uggh, yeah, I read em just to be sure that I don’t enjoy his writing, and sure enough it was not worth it.

    Evidently, that was one of his first ever books and the writing isn’t nearly as good as his later writing.

    ‘On Writing’ was a great look into his mind and process.

      Yeah, my partner is reading it right now and I am tempted to do likewise, it seems much more enjoyable.

        Strongly recommend “On Writing” if you’re either curious about him specifically or interested in writing in general. I read it over a decade ago for the first time and I still regularly refer to it when talking to people about writing.
