> When? Which books?

Around 2012, and I don’t recall. I have zero memory for names or titles even when I enjoy a book, much less books I dislike enough to abandon.

(The name thing extends to the rest of my life. I don’t remember names of people or places, period).

> Strong disagree. Boring, preachy, not meaningfully science fiction, sure, but poorly written, nah.

I think those negative traits would qualify writing “poorly written”, but I accept that’s a matter of opinion.



Lolita is wonderfully written but I did not care at all about a single character or event in the entire book. “Not my thing” and bad writing are different qualities.
