Some Authors Read Like They're Auditioning (and other art)

It seems like the "kiss-and-tell" biographies by someone who isn't a professional author are better written than the professional writers from Cambridge, England. They get to the point, while the "intellectuals" take something so simple and make it so complex to read, as if they were seriously auditioning for their next job. Rambling on, showing their wonderful multi-syllabic words to their fellow competitors and possible future patrons.

Some books are fine at 120 pages, "But if its 400 pages, it will be taken more seriously".. Just like movies, "If we make it FOUR hours long, it might be called an EPIC"… Music, especially prog-rock has a weird time-duration issue. If its 24 minutes, it's respected before its ever heard, but a 5-minute song that explores many different rhythms, scales, changes, and just sounds great, refusing to be repetitive are considered to be lesser than; to be looked at suspiciously. Prejudice. Expectations.
