Positive stuff

I was wondering if there is anything anyone still likes about either of the series. There most be something that keeps people coming back. Are you still reading? If you are, what keeps you coming back besides the hope that the books will return to their former selves? Are there any little aspects about the novel you still like? Do you have any techniques to help you get through the books? (For example, counting the number of times LKH uses spill, tight, or any of her . . . standard phrases).

I guess what I'm asking is, do you derive any sort of fun from reading her books at all anymore?

ETA because of typo and to ask if anyone actually buys her books anymore.

Yes, I saw the bait. The member has been removed.

I don't think this needs clarifying, but in case it does: I don't expect everyone here to have the same opinion. I've openly said that "happy fans" (for want of a better term) are welcome here, but they have to respect that this is a space in which LKH is criticised.

If people want to post a dissenting/unpopular (to here) opinion, that's fine, so long as it is done in a respectful manner. The above-linked post was not. If you legitimately want to know why Lashouts members still read LKH's books (for example), you're free to ask, but don't do it with flame-bait language.

Thanks to all the members who replied to the post in a civil tone. To those who didn't, remember that ALL members are to be treated with courtesy, whether you agree with what they say or not. If they start being abusive, that doesn't give you the right to be abusive in return: tell me what's going on, and I'll step in. Thanks.

Just to satisfy my boredom ......

You all sit here moaning about all thats wrong with LKH and her books....now here is the thing.....

1. If your that annoyed with it why ya all still reading?...cuz you all have to still be reading both series in order to be getting all the info on the books.....

2.If you think they are that bad lets see you do better......I will wager that none of you can....and if ya can i would read the books ya write.

3. Are you all that miserable in your own lives that you have to attack someone else just for the pleasure of it?

4. Why you all having a go at the people who still read the books?.....you obviously still read them so stop bemoaning the fact that others like them as much as you seem to hate them.

5. Not everyone is a sheep and whilst i understand that everyone is entitled to an opinion on the work doesn't mean you have to get personal either with the authors life or with people who read the books and enjoy them....doesn't mean they are less than you are....oh wait thats what you think...or so it would appear...but if thats the case then you are less to because you still read them.
