Hold up a second.

What books do you know that are effective at communicating a story without needing to fill every sentence with the contents of a thesaurus?

That's not say I'm averse to large words. I'm not at all. Just something good.

Me no like big words too. Me want good book, no too smart words for me...

I'm reading Cannery Row at the moment and while it is a little thesaurus-y, there was also a poop joke on the first page.

Are you familiar with the works of the author depicted in picture related? If not - try and read his works. Simply superb. Amazing. Detailed, without using too many words like those silly authors that do so in order to seem 'sophisticated' (Dante, Goethe, even Homer, bunch of tryhard loonies with their big superfluous words)

Children's fiction. I'm not kidding.

Want something deep? Jerry Spinelli. My favorites are Milkweed, Maniac Magee, and Stargirl. They're all very good stories that can literally bring you to tears at parts you really didn't expect, but he doesn't need big language to get out an amazing and yet simplistic story.

What are you on about? Have you even read 'Looking for alaska'? He is very similar to Hemingway in the clarity that he offers in his works, as well as his ability to craft highly complicated as well as simple relations between people and their thoughts.
