And a lot of it WASN'T good. Like I religiously read Dorothy L. Sayers and Dashiell Hammett, but I also read every Pern, Xanth or Shannara thing I could grab. I started on Tom Clancy but it was too UHMERICA HOOAH and not enough LET'S NERD OUT ABOUT M2 AFVS so I stopped quickly.
(This was before I got out on my own and spent a chunk of time reading LeGuin and also Mercedes Lackey.)
I have to be curious about what other varieties of total shit my peers here have read.
@LexYeen WHOA. This... wow.
