Also, I like James Joyce, but his work is hell to read.

Joyce and Steinbeck weren't mentioned because they're are brilliant.


I forgot to mention my ambivalence towards Dickens. Though he isn't bad.
Joyce IS brilliant, which is why I said I liked him. Steinbeck on the other hand doesn't deserve to have his name next to Joyce.
