The Britons put together a list of the books they find hardest to finish. Interesting list. Actually one of the favorite authors of this forum has made the list. Find out who…

Those who didn't finish it were not fans & obviously didn't care what happened to poor old (I should say 'young') Harry

If one becomes a famous author and learns more women read your novels than men, does it influence your future stories/style of writing?
Has the fact more women than men read WS books been discussed anywere on this Forum?
I've just about finished reading When The Lion Feeds for the umpteenth time and it really is "one for the boys". It's about brothers, mateship, hunting, mining, punch ups, et. etc., with the occasional mention of love & relationships. (Actually, that could cover quite a few of WS's novels.) If I had known that before hand I may never have picked it up. (I hate senseless killing of animals and think boxing should be banned.) And yet, I love WS novels. Mind you, I've quite an eclectic taste in novels with romance being very low on the list.
So, unlike you Penitent, I'm looking forward to reading The Quest and think it will be very interesting to see whether more women than men like it.
I love the fact WS obviously doesn't care & knows you can't please everyone so he doesn't even try.
