I tried to read his stuff. Never could.

But RIP anyway.

I never could get with his writing...and his faith walk was sometimes unusual, but Updike now has paradise.

I read Rabbit Run. That’s about it. Pretty good.

I read all the rabbit books, hoping for some sort of breakthrough, but in the end found them shallow and discouraging.

Not to speak evil of the dead, obviously, many liked his books! Pulitzer and all that.

About the only thing of his that was even worth reading was his “Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu” article when Ted Williams retired. The rest of his stuff I found not worth the trouble.
