There are some, like Terry Pratchett, where I've sometimes thought I could probably enjoy reading their shopping lists, but reality hits when you get someone like Stephen King that plunked an essay about baseball in the middle of a short story collection, and you realise that maybe you don't like their voice quite that much.

Yeah, I can totally understand that. I think I've come across that myself. In fact, I know a few people who right really good stories that are very immersive. But the way they write is like nails on a chalk board. If you can get past that the stories are good. But most times I try to avoid those types as well. Especially the ones that use the "said she" or "said he" way of writing. Drives me nuts.

lol. Believe it or not I used to be a chef, but gave it up as it was too stressful.
