A Request
I feel that I am becoming more discerning, that I am growing up.
At least in my reading.
There was a time (not too long ago) when anything esoteric appealed to me. Anything clever dazzled. Now I want writing to get to the point. Tell me what you want to. Don’t weave stories to show off. Don’t lead me through winding roads and present me with dead-ends expecting me to retract my steps. Just because you can.
Describe but only because you genuinely feel the need to. I am not interested in your vocabulary or your innovative use of language or your great eye for detail.
I have a choice and I am beginning to exercise it. I will just stop reading and cast you aside. Reputations don’t matter. I am mature enough to decide.
Give me simplicity and I will be indebted to you.

earlier i used to think the problem was with me when i couldnt understand complex description of people or a setting. nowadays i dont even bother to try. i agree wholeheartedly with you.
there u go. well said. these days evn i find myself just gliding over pages. loss of patience - does that also equal a loss of wonder?
back in 98...throughout the length of 100 years i was telling this to marquez! then it was worth it :)

3 more in the same boat. And BVN I never could complete the 100 years..
And I tried twice :)
