Author hated most

[slj3988]

Celebrity auto-biographies. Not a specific person. It just bugs me that famous people with no skill get to sell millions of copies of dribble that top the charts when struggling authors with real talent remain to be discovered

Celebrities with fiction book deals grind on my nerves too! Perhaps half of them are ghost-written, or perhaps they wrote it themselves, but the content tends to be subpar because publishers know their fame outside of writing will get sales.

I think most are ghost-written. Katie Price said on a talk show once, "My new autobiography is out soon. I can't wait to read it."

I'm a bit surprised by the hatred for JK Rowling on this thread. I found her books to be imaginative and complex.

Mark Danielewski, author of House of Leaves. Well, I just read that one book from him, but never again.
