I refuse to read anything by George Eliot, Thackery (yes, even Barry Lyndon), Bronte, Austen, or any other boring English classic that focues on aristrocracy. I cannot imagine gaining anything from the experience of reading through these dull soap operas.
Also, I hate James Patterson and Tom Clancy simply because they're the McDonald's of literature. Particuarly Patterson, who comes off as a pretentious c**t
these are more poets than authors but sylvia plath and emily dickenson
read a few of plath's poems pertaining to how much she didn't love her children which are infuriating
frick it maybe the kids were annoying but to publish these thoughts to the entire world and for your children to grow up to see is the worst parenting move i've ever heard of, no wonder her son killed herself
also dickenson seems more of the same, skimmed her wikipedia article and one of her poems and her work comes across as more >i'm.. umm.. LE SAD!!! AHAHAHAHAHAH
>I thought she had killed her children. Or was that the other Hughes hole?
don't think so, but apparently plath killed herself by turning on the gas stove and locking herself in the kitchen, which she did after locking her kids somewhere else in the house

Wtf is wrong with Hughes? How is a man got so many suicides surrounding him? Is he a deranged psycho or something?
All the feminists obviously assume as a matter of course that TH drove them both to suicide. But it could be almost the opposite. If you're emotionally extremely fragile, you might well seek out the strongest person around as a rock to cling to. TH was certainly a strong individual. Both Sylvia and Assia sought him out a lot more than he sought them out. SP had already seriously attempted suicide before meeting him (and was obviously completely bonkers from the start). And (IIRC) Assia had at least threatened suicide previously, if not attempted it.
So put all that together and the truth seems to be less "TH sought out sane, happy women and turned them suicidal" and more "crazy suicidal women sought out TH, but even he couldn't keep them alive".
(TH certainly didn't behave very well when it came to actually ditching SP for AW. But I bet SP was hell on wheels to live with. My guess is he had been driven to the end of his tether.)
I think SP was a more admirable person than Assia, because she at least had talent, even if she was bonkers. Assia was a manipulative so-and-so. She married a guy purely to get into England and then dumped him the minute he'd served his purpose.

True. However, AW was prettier, objectively speaking. Would you prefer a talented wife or a pretty wife? Depends what one prioritizes.
Sylvia Plath is easy to dislike but I think you got the wrong impression of Emily Dickinson. She's not at all a ME SO SAD writer. The opposite if anything. More like, "WOOHOO! I WENT INTO THE GARDEN AND SAW . . . A ROBIN! A ROBIN I TELL YOU! PROOF POSITIVE OF GOD'S EXISTENCE!"

okay i guess i'll check her out then
Orwell. It's an irrational hatred given that I think his books are actually pretty good for what they are (accessible novels making allegorical critiques of Stalinism at a time when it seemed globally ascendant), but nonetheless, I have seen him treated like a profound genius by so many people who clearly haven't read a book since high school. He isn't a particularly great novelist nor political theorist, yet I constantly have conversations where people act like 1984 is the best book ever written for "how much it predicted". It's the male equivalent of continuing to read YA shlock and nothing else

Jews were seething about his Israel-Palestine crash course because it was mostly anti-Israel. He's not israeli, come on.

He's Jon, not John. Jon is short for Jonathan which is an Old Testament name (i.e. not explicitly Christian).
I worked at a used bookstore so I will list the ones that annoyed me because like 1/3 of the shit we bought back was from these authors: John Grisham, James Patterson, Nora Roberts, Danielle Steel, Dean Koontz.
On the topic of authors I irrationally hate because of their writing: Stephen Crane and S. E. Hinton.
On a related note, I hate early translators of Chinese classics. Jesuits...
You
Judith Butler
Allan Bloom
I don't think it's irrational to hate Judith Butler, purely from a language standpoint.
if I hold hate for an author it is always rational
name him/her

"Just" two. A coincidence. My guess is women couldn't handle such a chad. Plath killed herself because he was seeing another (younger, hotter) woman.
His son also killed himself
Maternal genetics. Same goes for Hemingway. Many in his family killed themselves. I think Ted had the misfortune of finding crazy women

Henry James. I hate that c**t.

Though I don't think it's irrational. He's a boring, meandering, unoriginal, perverted writer.

I only hate people rationally. Dawkins, for starters. Anyone who has written a troony children's book, next off. And many others.
>And many others.
please continue
Why?
Richard Brautigan. I read In Watermelon Sugar and nearly lost my goddamned mind.
He's a mixed bag. I didn't like IWS either, but I enjoyed a lot of Trout Fishing In America and almost all of Revenge of the Lawn.
Some of his poems are meh (the worst sort of no-structure low-effort modern stuff) but some are good. ‘The wind glanced at her hair’ is a great line.
china mieville, supposedly. i'm not convinced it's irrational
Hegel
Ursula K Le Guin
I hate her. Frick her. And frick her books.
And frick everyone that defends her.
Myself
Any author that seems more like an engineer than an artist. Joyce and Brecht are the too that first come to mind.
