    Passive aggressiveness, nice!

    That’s not passive aggressiveness; it’s condescension. Passive aggressiveness would be like hiding a spouse’s favorite condiments after an argument or intentionally being late to a meeting with someone you don’t like. It’s being indirectly mean or hurtful. I’m very direct, by comparison.

    I won’t be reading his works, mostly because I prefer authors that use proper English grammar.

    A truly fascinating hill to die on. I’m gonna bet you’re a BIG Brandon Sanderson and J. K. Rowling fan. Maybe a little Stephen King if you want to be adventurous.

      I mean, it’s really not. It’s just a preference. I’m not at all familiar with Brandon Sanderson. I’ve never read J. K. Rowling but am familiar due to pop culture. I read some Stephen King years ago. Don’t remember what all besides The Stand and The Dark Tower.

      Given your concern over my reading habits, you must be a librarian?
