Just curious, why did you read their entire books if you dislike them? I have read ten Murakami books and I really dislike him, but I kept reading because I had loved the first book I read by him, Wind Up Bird, but each successive novel made me dislike him more and more. Did this also happen to you with those two you disliked?
