I did say somewhere that the problem with books is that they feel like books. This is mostly out of frustration because so many new books that come out are really boring. They are stacked paragraphs of endless clichés, bland landscapes, flat sentences, zero imagination, all culminating in 220 pages. I don’t know, it’s just all really lame lately. Book as book with no surprise. People like music and film and art because those mediums are so unpredictable and wild, created by some really wild and interesting characters. All the clichés of writers and their books have come to a boiling point. When did creative writing stop being creative?
