Favourite Novelists

Favourite Novelists 

Of all the American writers I knew of
some favourites remain, like Theodore Dreiser.
John Dos Passos, John Steinbeck and 
Ernest Hemingway. I mentioning him the last,
although I admired his writing, still does 
immensely, he was a master, like Dos Passos,
in short sentences, but I disliked his theme 
often about hunting and shooting, personally
I think he was a big softy never killed  
A thing in his life. These days if I read a novel
I rarely do – lack of patience- I prefer 
the way John Steinbeck wrote.
I`m thinking of writers using the English 
language, I find some English writer like
Martin Amis practically unreadable as he 
appears to need to impress
readers with his erudition; in all should know I sit 
down and read I would prefer an American 
novelist
