What author did you read a book by and didn’t like, but gave them another chance and loved it?
I’m so glad I gave Edith Wharton another chance. I read Ethan Frome and thought it was fine. On a whim I picked up The Age of Innocence and fell in love. Now I’m buying anything I can by her. I recently read The House of Mirth, and can confirm she is one of my favorite authors now. Anybody have a similar experience with an author?
Ernest Hemingway. I read two of his novels in high school (besides having The Old Man and the Sea read aloud to me) and found him beyond annoying. Then I discovered his short stories as an adult and was blown away. They’re great. I can’t believe it’s the same author.
