An Authors Last Novel Is A Mystery, If He's Dead.
BCOF

I'm never annoyed by what I don't know.  I don't think you can ever really KNOW anything for sure.  When reading I am sometimes annoyed at mysteries.  Not because I don't know what the ending is going to be, but because I don't agree with the author as to what the ending was.  I usually prefer to decide for myself.  Makes me think about a review of one of my stories I had recently.  The reviewer, who claimed to be knowledgeable, told me it wasn't ALLOWABLE to leave so many unanswered questions at the end of my story!  ???!  Hunh?  I explained to the reviewer that I didn't know the answers.  I much prefer books that pose many questions, discuss the questions, then explain, some how, through good writing, that there are many questions that only a fool would even try to answer.

Is an author only as good as their last novel?  Maybe, if they're dead.  *Confused* Oh, and I guess they would have to not have written anything better than their last novel in their whole life, also?  I think it would be a hell of a lot better to just say, "An author is only as good as the best thing they have ever written."
