Secret Lives of Great Authors: What Your Teachers Never Told You about Famous Novelists, Poets, and Playwrights by Robert Schnakenberg

3.0

This book did have a lot of interesting facts (some were negligible like authors that were actually dead, but that's understandable due to its publication year)however, I still found it to be a frustrating read. This is because most of the authors lead very similar lives, all of the drug abuse, alcoholism, and sex kind of meshes together after a certain point and then you're simply left with a SUPER AUTHOR (who embodies several questionable habits).

That being said, it's still worth reading to gloss over trivia on different authors. Be warned though, read it in small doses to avoid the side effect of summoning the SUPER AUTHOR.
