John Updike

I will now speak ill of the dead. Sorry.
I don't care for John Updike's writing. At all. A&P is one of the many reasons I don't really and truly care for fiction. I read it when I was thirteen, in my freshman English class, and I was not pleased. It really left me cold.
That being said, I hope that we can all agree that his was a life well lived and I offer my condolences to his family today.
