I haven't seen one of his movies, or read any of his books. I adore my trashy, historical romance novels. I would much rather read about Virginia Honeybottum, the delicate English rose, is kidnapped by the dastardly, yet devastatingly handome pirate, Captain Thirdleg. You know he is going to see her naked in the next couple chapters, because bitches on boats ALWAYS get a raging fever. They alternate between fighting and getting along for a few chapters. Next thing you know, they are having hot, dirty pirate sex, in some cove at the pirate's hideout. By the end of the book, they are married or shacking up, she manages to end up having a knack for piracy, so she joins him on his adventures.

I love those books - it's how I learned about sex - heaving bosoms and exploring valleys, and throbbing members and all of that. But at least those writers didn't compare themselves to Faulkner...

Arghhh, both of you beat me. I was going to say that his writing may be worse than all of those other things combined.

Have any of you read Bertrice Small? Bertrice Small - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Leslie Family, the O'Malley Series and Skye's Legacy Series all follow the same family over the course of 300 years. You definitely want to read them in order.
