thinking about this post going around talking about re-reading classics once you're older

I wonder if I can stomach Stephen King's absolute jackass way of talking now. I remember opening the Dark Tower and he was talking about himself for ten pages in the intro I wanted to throw the book by the window before even reaching the actual story

same with the Elric series, I really wanted to get into it but after ten pages I was seething with rage I wanted to jump in there and kill Elric with my two bare hands for being such a mirror of the author's jackass world view

#review on books : I hate how you perceive people and the world around you. die.#babbles blabbles #I can't stand edgy individualism from authors who think they're the main character actually #there's another genre of books I can't stomach #it's when characters are tropes #these are not people these are tropes #that's the worst feeling I can get from any piece of media #bc it makes me wonder if the author really doesn't see what makes people people in real life
