For me, shitty style / lazy writing make me put a book down immediately. I was raised on the worship of style you find in writers like Flaubert or Nabokov (who also happened to have deplorable political views) and I can’t shake it.

Others commented here recently that making every female character in a story into a sex object is a bad thing.

What are some reasons you’ll put a book down after you’ve spent at least a little time giving it a try?

    mujer means woman but if you put a possesive before it means wife example
    su mujer his wife
    mi mujer my wife
    tu mujer your wife
    la mujer the woman
