How about modern writers? Do we all have to like what everyone says is a good book or author? People are sheep so if it comes to book likes it's not different same for what is called literature which is in average boring and by far not interesting to read. I can't stand the praising into heaven of a small group of writers because there's a story behind a story behind a hidden story students or readers should see but can't. It's what I hate about books and how they are promoted. It's for a select group and if you don't like it you are called a cultural barbarian by school or the book club. 🤢
Book clubs, even in films the readers and book lovers hate the best sellers!
What is a master? I bet my hat famous writers are famous by name but not because we all read them or believe they are great. If that would be the case we all would be super authors and addicted to reading. Most I know hate to read. That info should be could for something and shake up some authors though everyone is an author today
