    This hits home for me… Once I start a series I have to finish it. Sometimes it’s VERRY long to finish the more boring ones…

      I’m the opposite. Life is too short for bad books. If I’m not into a book within the first few chapters, I drop it.

      I was getting into Warhammer 40k lore on YouTube and tried the first Horus Heresy book. I noped right out of there. I read the Sun Eater series instead, and I’m so glad I did.

          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.
