RIP John Updike
Just read this news on Yahoo and thought, "Oh my God, another giant is gone." I can't say that I'm a big fan of Updike as I've tried and failed to complete a single one of his books. His flowery prose and ten dollars words always stopped me in my tracks, but you've got to admire a writer who's left behind such a tremendous the body of work.

His work The Witches of Eastwick became a movie and I must say he's a great novel writer.

I've read a few of his short stories and several articles and interviews he did about writing which I enjoyed. His novels just weren't my cup of tea but you're right, he was a great novel writer.
And welcome to my blog Lionel. I hope you'll stop by again.
