I like dry, and I like humor. I just don't like Hemingway ;-)

I actually have a bit of reverse-snobbery when it comes to literature. Anything since, oh, 1900 that is acclaimed as great literature, I view skeptically... books are supposed to entertain me, you know... Hemingway and Steinbeck just don't do anything for me.

Heh, and this from a girl who really wants to be a writer.

I acctually enjoyed Steinbeck also, every one else in school hated having to read it, but I didn't. I'm just weird like that, although I don't like all critically acclaimed books, most of them I abhore, you just happened to mention two of my few exceptions.
