Authors you want to drop-kick.

Another author I want to drop-kick:

Paul 'Dirty Old Man' Theroux.

Get an editor. You bastard.
 
Ayn Rand for her overwrought and unintentionally hilarious writing style, and her oh-so-serious idealism.

Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins for the "Left Behind" series...bad prose, stupid premise, all around awful. The Thomas Kinkaids of fiction.

Great analogy!, I now have to clean up the coffee from the keyboard.:D
 
Philip Larkin. For only writing two proper novels. If he had been less concerned with getting his end away and less interested in porn he may have manged a few more.

Miserable librarian bastard.

I'm not sure that's a healthy attitude. If anything everyone needs more porn. :p

If Larkin had had access to the interweb back then, he wouldn't have written a thing....
 
Ernest Hemingway- for never getting to the point!!

Jane Austen- do i really need to explain?

Bill O'Reilly- for being and ass and having the nads to write a kids book.
 
OK well this is more about the book than the aurthor, but John Irving's "A Prayer for Owen Meany". I wanted to light the book on fire, toss it across the room and watch it burn. After that I never even contimplated reading any other of his books.
